Elder Scrolls Online: How to Get Indrik, the Magical Stag – Guide

Lucas Kaczynski 13. October 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Actually, cool mounts in The Elder Scrolls Online cost real money. But for the latest mount, players only need to participate in the upcoming events.

Why the mount is causing a stir: Those who want to ride an exotic mount in The Elder Scrolls Online usually have to spend Euros. That’s why players were pleasantly surprised by the announcement that the form-changing Indrik can only be obtained through gameplay.

What is an Indrik? Indriks are magical beings that you can fight against in Summerset and Wolfhunter, and their magic lies in their ability to change form.

How to get the cool stag: If you want to obtain the Indrik, you need to play ESO regularly in the coming months. The mount requires several feathers. This loot spans over four entire events and is a lengthy process.

What players think about the event: Players are looking forward to the form-changing mount. And the conditions for obtaining it suit them quite well. They appreciate that there is little pressure on them. They don’t have to log in for every event, but can also purchase the feathers later. This way, they don’t have to log in every day and can easily integrate ESO into their daily routine.

This is how you get the Indrik mount

This is what you need for Indrik: If you want to unlock Indrik, you need to collect four different feathers. During the upcoming events, there will be a special feather to catch each time.

This is how you obtain the feathers: During the upcoming events, you can earn event tickets, which you need to acquire feathers and berries. The way you get event tickets varies with each event. First up is the Witches Festival, where you can obtain the first feather.

When does the Witches Festival start? The big spookiness begins on October 18 at 4:00 PM and ends on November 1 at 3:00 PM.

This is how you get the first feather: During the Witches Festival, you can receive one event ticket per day when you open a Dremora plunder skull.

How do I get Dremora plunder skulls? You simply need to defeat a leader. These can be leaders from dungeons, powerful enemies in the open world, or leaders of Dark Anchors. The leaders in the Summerset geysers also drop plunder skulls.

Where can I get the feather? Once you’ve collected 10 event tickets, you can travel to the new merchant Impresaria and exchange the tickets for a feather. Note that you can only hold a maximum of 12 event tickets at a time. So be sure to buy a new feather if you have too many tickets.

How does Indrik change its form?

This is what must happen for the stag to change forms: To change form, you need berries. Unfortunately, it is currently only known that these berries can be purchased from the merchant Impresaria. Players suspect that berries are tied to specific events and can only be acquired during those times. Whether the Indrik will remain in one form permanently is still unknown.

Indrik also has several colors: The Indrik comes in shimmering green, gold, white, and black

Casual players can also obtain the Indrik

What happens if I miss an event? If you miss an event, you can still purchase the feather from the current event and all previous feathers from Impresaria. So you won’t miss anything if you join later. Keep in mind that you need a total of 40 event tickets for all four feathers.

This is how you obtain the other feathers

These are the upcoming events: A total of four different events are still coming up for ESO players throughout the year.

From November 15 to 26, the one-year anniversary of Clockwork City will take place. You will earn event tickets by completing daily quests in the DLC area.
The New Year celebrations will be held from November 29 to December 11. To earn event tickets, you must complete a dungeon. The final leader of the dungeon then drops event tickets.
Lastly, the New Year’s Festival awaits players. There, you can earn event tickets from December 13 to January 2 by completing any daily quest.

ESO’s prologue quests for Murkmire have been released. You can snag a cute pet jellyfish. ESO: New Quests for the next DLC are live – and highly sought after.

On island expeditions in WoW you get new loot every week

Cortyn 13. October 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard enhances Island Expeditions in World of Warcraft from now on. We’ll tell you how exactly this works.

Island Expeditions in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth are controversial. Some find them boring because they are mandatory, while others are annoyed that rewards are so hard to earn. At least regarding variety, Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance will bring some changes. However, fresh invasions with new loot are already available.

WoW Parrot Blood Elf Beg title Island Expedition

New invasions per week: For a while now, Blizzard has been adding a new type of invasion to the Island Expeditions each week. At the beginning, only pirates, Saurok, Naga, and a few others could attack, but now additional invasions have been added, such as earth or fire elementals. These offer chances for a new kind of cosmetic loot at the end of the Island Expedition.

What does the schedule look like? The new types of invasions will be added over the coming weeks. They will have a chance to reward new cosmetic items corresponding to the enemy type. For example, there is a dragon as a mount or elementals as pets, along with a variety of transmog sets.

10.10.2018: Water elementals (already active)
17.10.2018: Air elementals
24.10.2018: Black dragons
31.10.2018: Tol’vir
07.11.2018: Twilights dragons
14.11.2018: Old Gods

WoW Island Expedition Hozen — For Hozen toy, you should kill rare Hozen.

How do you get loot from Island Expeditions? If you want more than just the artifact power reward from the Island Expeditions, you must not only play “for victory,” but ideally defeat enemies from specific groups.

Do you want the pirate mount (the green parrot)? Then kill many pirates.
Do you want Vrykul weapons for transmog? Then kill Vrykul and open their treasures.
Do you want Murloc weapons? Then kill plenty of Murlocs.

However, if you kill “neutral” enemies (like crocodiles and Azerite elementals, for example) or mine Azerite ores, you will not increase your chance of loot.

More on the topic

How Loot Works on Island Expeditions in WoW

von Cortyn

Tip: Give the opponents some time. It is particularly important to give the opposing faction some time. Invasions begin at set times. For normal Island Expeditions, the rule of thumb is that invasions roughly start after 6000 Azerite (combined from both teams) have been collected. Since victory does not decide loot, you can comfortably give your enemies a few points.

Are you looking forward to the new types of invasions? Or are you fed up with Island Expeditions until Patch 8.1?

“More loot” has also been available for some time in dungeons!

Russische Spieler von Black Desert erleben den MMORPG-Albtraum

Cortyn 13. October 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Russian players of Black Desert are left in the lurch. All of their character data has been deleted – presumably irretrievably.

For many MMO players, this represents a catastrophic failure: all characters and all gameplay data of the account have been deleted. This has now happened to players of Black Desert in Russia. The reason is likely a change of publisher.

What happened? In Russia, the publisher of Black Desert was previously “GameNet”. However, they will no longer be the publisher. Pearly Abyss, the game’s developer, wants to market Black Desert themselves in Russia.

Now, after this announcement, the Russian servers of Black Desert have gone offline, and Pearl Abyss has announced that they have no way of accessing user data – and thus the characters and account information.

GameNet is considered “shady”: The publisher GameNet is not well regarded among Russian players. Many consider the publisher to be “incompetent” and very short-sighted. Among players, there is suspicion that GameNet only wants to “squeeze as much money as possible from players”.

Fans suspect that Pearl Abyss did not want to extend the contract with GameNet and will henceforth market the game themselves in Russia.

Apparently, GameNet did not want to accept this and is now using a legal clause that allows them not to hand over user data (and therefore also the game data of the servers).

von Jürgen Horn

What does this mean for the players? Nothing good. So far, it appears that Russian players have lost all characters, playtime, and purchased items forever. Whether there will still be a concession from GameNet or an agreement between Pearl Abyss and GameNet remains doubtful.

Uncertain future: Pearl Abyss is facing the difficult task of re-engaging fans in Russia.

Black Desert is booming, even though it feels “dead” to many.

Whether there will be special incentives for a fresh start on the Russian servers remains to be seen. However, most players are likely to turn their backs on the game after this massive loss.

Currently, you can get Black Desert for free – you just have to level up very quickly!

Suddenly everyone is running around with the rarest skin in Fortnite

Jürgen Horn 13. October 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale has brought back the coveted skin “Skull Trooper” to the shop. This has led to it being worn by almost everyone now. Hardcore fans from the beginning are outraged.

Which skin are we talking about? We are talking about the Skull Trooper. This skin was released shortly after the launch of Fortnite: Battle Royale during Halloween 2017. Back then, the game was barely known and far from the popularity it enjoys today.

The great rise of Fortnite Battle Royale only began in January 2018. In the first months after its release in September 2017, Fortnite was still more of a hidden gem.

Why was the Skull Trooper so sought after? This was because only a small fraction of today’s players were around at that time, and not all of them bought the skin.

Thus, the Skull Trooper was super rare and a symbol for “OGs” (Original Gangster).

The OGs are thus the fans from the early days and esteemed veterans who played the game “before it was cool.” Some players even sold their accounts with the Trooper and made a good profit.

How the special skin became commonplace

The return of the Skull Trooper: A year after the release of the first Skull Trooper, Epic has now brought the skin back and offered it in the shop for 15 Euros.

Masses of players probably bought the skin. The hype around the Skull Trooper was built up throughout the year, and its return was a tremendous success.

Epic has probably made millions

How much money has Epic actually made? Fortnite currently has about 78 million players. If only 1 percent of them (and it was likely more) bought the skin, it should already be over 11 million dollars in revenue.

And this with a skin that has been around for a year.

Epic will surely bring other rare skins: Since rare skins sell well, more outfits will probably come back to the shop at some point. The only question is whether Epic will do the same with skins from past Battle Passes.

What is your opinion on this? Do you think it’s okay for Epic to sell skins as they please, or should such rare skins remain a rarity?

Diablo 3: Crossplay for PC, PS4, Xbox One is not an issue

Robert Albrecht 13. October 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

With the Nintendo Switch, Diablo 3 will be released in November on what is now the seventh platform. Unfortunately, these cannot play together.

Update 14:10: As Blizzard now reports (via dualshockers), they love the idea of players being able to play across all platforms, but currently have no plans to implement crossplay for Diablo.

This can only mean: Apparently, the employee’s statement to Business Insider was not coordinated with the company, and they gave a personal opinion instead of representing Blizzard’s official position.

The original announcement:

Seven platforms chasing Diablo: In addition to PC, Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4, Diablo 3 will also be available on the Nintendo Switch starting November 2 with an Eternal Collection. All these consoles remain currently isolated.

According to Blizzard, this is expected to change, as an employee revealed during a play session of the Nintendo Switch version in a conversation with Business Insider. Although there is no official announcement yet, they are supposedly “intensively working with partners Sony and Microsoft to enable crossplay between each other and with the Nintendo Switch.”

Wait, cross play between Microsoft and Sony? At first glance, this may sound trivial, but it is actually a pretty big deal. After all, console manufacturers have taken turns blocking cross-platform play in the past. The debate reached a tentative peak during the release of Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch.

Because Sony opposed cross play, accounts created on PlayStation 4 could also not be used on Nintendo’s console. After a major outcry from the gamer community, Sony eventually relented and not only allowed cross play, but work is also underway on the use of cross-platform accounts.

The fact that Blizzard is now pushing for cross play for Diablo 3 and wants to actively shape it suggests a profound change in the industry. Just a year ago, such considerations would have been unthinkable.

Whether more game developers will actively support and promote cross play in the future is still unclear. From the players’ perspective, it would certainly be desirable.

What do you think about Blizzard’s efforts to offer cross play for Diablo 3? For which games would you wish for this?

Deshalb hoffen Fans jetzt: Destiny 2 fixt Immerforst-Flop

Micha Deckert 13. October 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

When the Festival of the Lost begins in Destiny 2 on October 16, players will be able to visit an alternate version of the Infinite Forest from the Curse of Osiris expansion. This feature sounds suspiciously like something players have been wishing for a long time.

The Halloween event Festival of the Lost will be available in Destiny 2 from October 16 to November 6 and will bring new Triumphs, items, and features. Guardians will be led into a spooky version of the Infinite Forest, where they must progress as far as possible in 15 minutes. Will the event feature something that players have been wishing for since the Osiris DLC?

Will the Halloween event save the Infinite Forest from Curse of Osiris?

What was promised with the Infinite Forest? When Bungie introduced the Infinite Forest as part of the first DLC for Destiny 2, they promised an arena that is “infinitely” reassembled from various different parts. Players were supposed to encounter new terrain repeatedly and fight against ever-changing enemies in varied locations.

What did we get? The Infinite Forest was only used as a link between different level areas. Anyone hoping to enter the Vex simulation outside of a strike or quest was bitterly disappointed.

The Infinite Forest was also not as “infinite” as previously advertised: The area was repeatedly constructed from the same parts, which players already knew inside and out after a few visits. Instead of having special mechanics, the Infinite Forest was just another map where players fought against Hive, Vex, Taken, or Fallen.

What did players hope for? Shortly after the release of Curse of Osiris, players had already submitted their own suggestions for the Infinite Forest. The idea of an endless Vex simulation sparked the imagination of Guardians.

In addition to the desire to revisit the old raids from Destiny 1 in the Infinite Forest, a dungeon like the Rifts from Diablo 3 or a Horde Mode in the Infinite Forest was at the top of the list.

Will the community’s wish now be fulfilled?

What the Halloween event brings: During the event, the Festival of the Lost will open the so-called Haunted Forest. This will be described as an alternative, spooky version of the Infinite Forest.

However, what is more interesting is the fact that the Haunted Forest seems to be a kind of Horde mode. Players can enter the area alone, in a fireteam, or with matchmaking, and must survive as far as they can in 15 minutes.

The further Guardians progress, the more difficult the activity is supposed to become.

What does the community think? On the Destiny subreddit, players are already discussing that the Haunted Forest could become what was promised for the Infinite Forest. Even before the event has started, players are asking to keep the Haunted Forest in the game after Halloween.

What do you think of the Haunted Forest? Are you excited about the Horde mode?

Pokémon GO: Check out the baby Pokémon of the 4th generation

Noah Struthoff 13. October 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Even in the 4th generation of Pokémon GO, there are baby Pokémon again. We show you which ones they are and how to get them.

What are baby Pokémon? They are pre-evolutions of Pokémon. Since the second generation, these babies have also been in Pokémon GO.

How to obtain the baby Pokémon? Since they are babies, you probably can’t just catch them in the wild. So far, baby Pokémon have only been obtained from eggs. This will likely be the case in generation 4 as well.

7 new baby Pokémon

The 4th generation is just around the corner. The Pokémon have already been found in the code of Pokémon GO and will surely not take long to arrive. Among them are also seven new baby Pokémon. We introduce them to you.

More on the topic

Pokémon GO: Here are the Ghost Pokémon of the 4th generation

von Noah Struthoff

Knospi

What you should know about Knospi: Knospi is the baby form of Roselia from the 3rd generation. In addition to Knospi, there is also an evolution of Roselia in generation 4. This Pokémon is called Roserade.

Shiny form: It is possible that Knospi will also have a shiny form. Roselia is already available as shiny in the game, so a shiny Knospi is also conceivable.

Klingplim

What you should know about Klingplim: Klingplim is the pre-evolution of Palimpalim. Palimpalim is a rather rare Pokémon in the wild. Players could mostly hatch it from 10-kilometer eggs.

Mobai

What you should know about Mobai: The evolution of Mobai is Mogelbaum. The Pokémon from the 2nd generation previously had no further evolution form and now receives a baby Pokémon with Mobai.

Pantimimi

What you should know about Pantimimi: Pantimimi will be one of the most interesting baby Pokémon. Its evolution Pantimos was previously only available as a regional Pokémon in Europe. It remains to be seen who around the world will get the chance to hatch Pantimimi.

If Pantimimi can be hatched worldwide, then Pantimos also loses its status as a regional Pokémon, as every player can easily evolve a Pantimimi.

Wonneira

What you should know about Wonneira: This is the baby Pokémon of Chaneira. The small, pink and cute Pokémon Chaneira is indeed getting an even smaller and cuter baby form. Wonneira may also be a good choice for defense.

Trainers are now worried about Heiteira due to the balance update in Pokémon GO

Mampfaxo

What you should know about Mampfaxo: Mampfaxo is the baby form of Relaxo. The beloved Pokémon from the 1st generation thus receives its only evolution form.

Mantirps

What you should know about Mantirps: This is the pre-evolution of Mantax. The Pokémon from the 2nd generation has not been able to make much of a splash so far. Its average stats made the Pokémon useless in battles. Its baby form probably won’t change that.

Riolu

What you should know about Riolu: Riolu is the baby Pokémon of Lucario. Both Pokémon are coming to Pokémon GO in the 4th generation. They belong to the fighting type. Lucario also has the steel type. We don’t know much about the strength of these Pokémon yet, as neither has been available in Pokémon GO so far.

FIFA 19: The best talents in attack – Young strikers with potential

Max Handwerk 13. October 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

We show you the best striker talents with a lot of potential in the Career Mode of FIFA 19. Some of these young strikers should be cheap to buy.

Update: Are you looking for the best striker talents in FIFA 20? You can find them here:

FIFA 20: The best talents in attack – Young strikers in career

von Tom Rothstein

Money scores goals in FIFA 19: If you are not starting your career with one of the top European clubs like Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Juventus Turin, or FC Barcelona, it is quite possible that a top striker is missing in your team. However, strikers like Robert Lewandowski, Sergio Aguero, Paulo Dybala, or Lionel Messi are difficult to afford.

This is how you improve your attack in the career: It is worth taking a look at the biggest striker talents. Because in this year’s career mode, it holds true: After a few years, talented young strikers can develop into absolute top scorers.

It works by optimally deploying the players. Don’t let them rot on the bench, but build them up gradually. Especially important: Let your talents complete as many training sessions as possible to boost their stats.

Talented top strikers in Career Mode

Candidates for the starting eleven: If you have chosen a club with a decent budget, you should not miss out on these players:

Kylian Mbappé (ST, RF) from Paris St. Germain is already one of the absolute top strikers with his 87 rating. The Frenchman can still increase to 95 but is extremely expensive.
The Brazilian Gabriel Jesus (ST) looks similar: The potential of 92 is great, but the 83 overall rating also makes the attacker expensive.
The duo Malcom (RF, LF, ZM, 82) and Ousmane Dembélé (RF, LF, ZM, 81) from FC Barcelona may be affordable for smaller clubs after one to two years of successful career.
Marcus Rashford (LF, ST, LM, 81) from Manchester United should be kept in mind throughout the career.

FIFA 19 Talents – Best & Cheap Players with Potential in Career

Cheap strikers in Career Mode

Cheap players to develop:

The probably best talent in FIFA 19 you can get is Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid: The 18-year-old winger (LF, RF) from Real Madrid has an overall rating of only 77 but has a potential of 92. This makes the attacker almost a must-buy.
Patrick Cutrone (ST) from AC Milan is rated at 77. Cutrone can also make a big leap with a potential of 89.
In Germany, you will find an absolute top talent in the 2. Bundesliga: Jann-Fiete Arp (ST) is easily affordable with his overall rating of 69 but can jump to a rating of 88. Thus, the striker from HSV can increase by 17 points and become an absolute top striker.
A comparable candidate: Willem Geubbels (ST) has the potential for a giant leap: From an initial rating of 67, the 17-year-old player from AS Monaco can jump up by 22 points to an overall rating of 86.

All young striker talents U21

All striker talents at a glance: Besides the featured players, there are many more talents in FIFA 19 to discover. Here you will find an overview of the best young players for your attack under 21 years:

These 5 things annoy even the biggest fans of WoW

Cortyn 13. October 2018 Reading time 6 minutes

Not everything runs smoothly in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. We show you which 5 things Blizzard definitely needs to improve.

If reports from Superdata are to be believed, World of Warcraft is doing better than it has in a long time. Many players are satisfied and are having a lot of fun in Kul Tiras and Zandalar. But as often, not everything can be perfect. We have listed the five biggest criticisms from Reddit and the official forums that Blizzard should address promptly to avoid alienating the player base.

The Azerite System

The Azerite system with the Heart of Azeroth and the unlockable bonuses on certain armor items (head, chest, and shoulders) was one of the major features of Battle for Azeroth. However, it was not well received by players for several reasons.

What is the problem? Azerite armor is too rare. High-quality Azerite armor is hard to obtain. Although Blizzard has already made adjustments and added new sources for the armor via hotfix, it is still difficult to specifically obtain the right item.

The second major criticism is the boredom that arises when viewing the Azerite traits.

WoW Heart of Azeroth Azerite Armore — An early concept idea from BlizzCon.

Players find it particularly annoying that they have to unlock the same monotonous bonuses repeatedly. For example, when an item of item level 325 is replaced by one of level 340, it is likely that a large part of the same traits, with slightly larger numbers, will have to be unlocked again.

What should Blizzard change? Players do not want to unlock the same bonuses all the time. More variety in the bonuses or a way to keep old bonuses so that one does not always start from scratch.

Whether Blizzard will “simply stick with” this system until the end of Battle for Azeroth or heed and implement player feedback remains to be seen.

Unlocking Allied Races

Allied races, another major feature of the BfA expansion, are also met with little enthusiasm. Especially newcomers and returning players who have only started with Battle for Azeroth are frustrated with the allied races.

WoW Allied Races Nightborne Voidelf Lightforged Draenei

What is the problem? New players have to struggle through outdated content. Those who started with BfA have to complete several weeks of quests in Argus to unlock the Void Elves or Lightforged Draenei – an old area with no relevance to the current content. The quests there offer no meaningful items, no useful resources, and only reward reputation for the corresponding factions.

What would be the solution? Some fans demand that allied races should be playable immediately when players need to farm old content. Then Void Elves, Lightforged Draenei, Highmountain Tauren, and Nightborne would be available right away. Others at least wish for a significant reputation bonus for old content.

If quests awarded double or triple the reputation, players could complete the grind in just a few days instead of repeating old content for several weeks. Exactly this wish has been heeded by Blizzard and will be implemented with Patch 8.1!

WoW Allied Races Kul Tiran Zandalar Maghar title

The “Old” Leveling Phase

Another thorn in the side of many players is leveling alt characters. These “twinks” or “alts” have to struggle through old areas. Those who want to “quickly” play a new character in the end game have to invest several weeks in leveling a character – or buy a boost from the cash shop.

What is the problem? Leveling in the areas from levels 1 to 100 feels slow and is not fun. Numerous enemies still have too many health points, leveling takes a long time, and some abilities still deal “one-hit” damage while leveling.

Players are particularly angry that Blizzard said they did not want to make leveling more difficult or longer and would fix it if it were the case. Since those statements, there has only been a small adjustment to the XP curve that has only slightly eased the range from levels 60 to 80. Players are still far from satisfied with it.

Where leveling is still enjoyable, these two articles reveal:

What should Blizzard change? Leveling should be easier. Players wish for more XP bonuses that work account-wide. One idea would be to receive a 20% bonus on gained XP for each character that has already reached the maximum level. This way, twinks could be caught up more easily, and frequent players would be rewarded.

Alternatively, Blizzard should lower the necessary XP across all levels or ensure that absolutely every area in WoW scales with every level. For example, one could start questing in Pandaria at level 60 instead of having to quest in Northrend or Outland.

The Timegating on Rewards

The timegating in Battle for Azeroth is also heavily criticized.

What is the problem? Many contents in BfA are only available at certain times (such as the warfront) or have such diminished usefulness that prolonged play is not rewarded (farming artifact power).

The issue is also evident with artifact power and the Heart of Azeroth. With each level of the Heart of Azeroth, the amount of artifact power needed for another level-up increases exponentially. At the same time, every week the amount of artifact power required is reduced through “artifact knowledge”.

WoW BfA Fire Elemental Stromgarde Warfront

This results in players typically achieving one level per week now – the difference between casual players and hardcore fans who play for several hours every day is hardly noticeable.

What should Blizzard change? Prolonged play should be rewarding, and additional incentives should make that possible. At the same time, timegating should be removed. Players want to participate in warfronts when they feel like it and have the time to do so, not just when the three-week cycle allows them to.

In general, timegating should be abolished and give players more freedom to engage with content whenever they choose to.

The Lack of “Token Vendors”

The exchange of tokens, currencies, and badges for specific rewards has long been a fixed part of World of Warcraft. In recent expansions, developers have increasingly distanced themselves from this.

What is the problem? Players’ equipment is largely dependent on chance (“RNG”). This has always been at the heart of gear acquisition in PvE. However, the biggest criticism comes from PvP players who have been accustomed to “purchaseable” items for many years. They are particularly frustrated to receive duplicate items after hard-won PvP matches while some gear slots remain unfilled.

What should Blizzard change? Many players are calling for the return of token vendors for PvE and PvP. This way, players who have bad luck can at least work towards guaranteeing one or two items without being completely dependent on drop luck. Especially PvP fans are wishing for the return of a proper honor and conquest currency, as it was the case in earlier expansions.

WoW-Apexis — Token vendors in various forms should be reintroduced – many players wish for this.

Do you find your opinion reflected in these criticisms? Or do you not see the 5 mentioned things as that significant?

Diablo 4: Will Reign of Terror be the next Diablo? This is what Blizzard says

Schuhmann 13. October 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

The rumor currently going around is that “Reign of Terror” is the next big thing for Diablo, maybe even Diablo 4, which will be presented at BlizzCon 2018. But Blizzard says: There is nothing to it.

What is this rumor about? Currently, major gaming sites report that “Reign of Terror” could be the next title for Diablo.

People come to this idea because merchandise has surfaced in the “BlizzCon shop” showing the words “Reign of Terror”. There are two T-shirts, one for boys, one for girls, and a poster.

That’s why it fits so well: An announcement about the future of Diablo has long been expected:

On one hand, it is known that Blizzard is working on a “unannounced Diablo project”
furthermore, the studio announced in August that they are indeed working on “multiple Diablo projects”
and at BlizzCon 2018, the future of the franchise is set to be revealed in a panel

And “Reign of Terror” could fit in nicely, either as an expansion to Diablo 3 or as a successor. The find fits so well with this expectation.

The idea is: Blizzard intended to keep the title “Reign of Terror” a secret, but some intern put the merchandise online too early in the shop and now a leak is out and eagle-eyed people have already spotted it and drawn the right conclusions. Ha, marketing plan ruined.

This is what Blizzard says: Blizzard tells the US site GameSpot that although these are names and logos for new products that will be presented at BlizzCon, they do not refer directly to fresh content for Diablo.

When will we know more? Ultimately, we will have to wait until the big Diablo panel at BlizzCon 2018 on November 2. The Diablo panel comes right after the opening presentation. Normally, this spot is reserved for the “biggest reveal of BlizzCon”. That’s why so many are eagerly awaiting November 2.

We will report on MeinMMO about what will be announced there.

9 Bundesliga players in FIFA 19 that are much better than you think

Max Handwerk 13. October 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

In FIFA 19, the Bundesliga offers great players for a strong Ultimate Team. Some of them are significantly stronger than their ratings suggest.

Better than the rating: Of course, anyone building a Bundesliga Ultimate Team wants to have players like Lewandowski, Reus, or Alaba in their starting lineup. The problem is: Many of these players are simply too expensive.

However, the Bundesliga has several players who are much stronger on the pitch than their ratings indicate. The advantage: Many of these players are significantly cheaper than the classic top players of the Bundesliga. We present to you nine players who seem almost overpowering considering their stats.

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team: The best Bundesliga players for your team

von Max Handwerk

Surprisingly strong players in attack

Paco Alcacer (79): The Spaniard from Borussia Dortmund has only a 79 overall rating, but plays much stronger in FIFA 19: The striker is a good target player, who is strong in finishing, but can also hold and distribute the ball excellently. Keep an eye out for his special card from the fourth Team of the Week. This card raises Alcacer’s overall rating to 82.

Kingsley Coman (83): The left midfielder of FC Bayern Munich ranks behind wing competitors like Arjen Robben, Marco Reus, and Franck Ribéry in overall rating. However, the Frenchman is a weapon that is hard to stop: With a pace of 94, it is nearly unmatched, along with very strong dribbling stats and good finishing. When you play with Coman, fast attacks are guaranteed.

Karim Bellarabi (80): Karim Bellarabi has been a popular alternative to the league’s top players in recent years. He is virtually the counterpart to Coman on the right side: speed, dribbling, finishing – Bellarabi performs offensively significantly better than the 80 overall rating suggests.

Surprisingly strong players in midfield

Jean-Philippe Gbamin (79): The central defensive midfielder of Mainz 05 may not look very strong in overall rating, but he is a real wall in midfield. The 83 physicality rating makes Gbamin extremely strong in tackles. Additionally, he has a pace rating of 77, which provides him with a huge advantage over Javi Martinez, who, while having better overall stats, often arrives just a bit too late.

Marcel Sabitzer (81): This year, no one can surpass James Rodríguez in the number ten position. But Marcel Sabitzer, despite the 81 overall rating, secures the first place among the followers. The Leipzig player is a great playmaker and is also extremely dangerous in front of goal. He also shines at set pieces like free kicks or corners. And since the fourth TOTW, there is also a really strong special card from Sabitzer that raises his overall rating to 84. A big jump.

Axel Witsel (82): The Dortmund newcomer performs similarly to Gbamin very well defensively, but can also show solid values in passing, shooting, and dribbling. In short: Witsel is an all-rounder who can help you in any situation.

Surprisingly strong players in defense

Kevin Vogt (80): In overall rating, Vogt significantly falls short compared to stars like Hummels, Boateng, Naldo, and many others. However, the defender from Hoffenheim is a real insider tip in defense: fast, physically strong, and extremely affordable.

Niklas Süle (84): Süle has been a popular alternative for years, and even in FIFA 19, the young defender is a safe choice. Süle is tall, strong in the air, and physically hard to beat. The only downside is a bit of a lack of agility.

Jérôme Roussillon (78): There are hardly any good full-backs available in the Bundesliga. However, Roussillon from VfL Wolfsburg performs extremely well: In both defense and physicality, Roussillon shines but can also create significant pressure in attacks down the wing.

With these players, you can build a powerful Bundesliga team that, while not having very high ratings, still plays excellently. You can find more tips for your Ultimate Team season here:

Everything you need to know about leveling in CoD: Black Ops 4 Blackout

Sven Galitzki 13. October 2018 Reading time 6 minutes

After the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, numerous players are diving into the battle royale mode. To help you progress faster towards max level, we have summarized everything you need to know about leveling up in Blackout.

The Blackout mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has a similar progression system to the traditional multiplayer, but there are also some important differences. Here are the aspects to consider when leveling up in Blackout.

[toc]

The Max Level of Blackout – but without Prestige

What is the max level in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout? The max level in the in-house battle royale mode is 80. The leveling phase is divided into 5 ranks, known as Echelons. Once you have reached the max level, it cannot be reset – at least not at launch.

How do I earn experience? You need to earn Merits to level up. Merits are the equivalent of EXP. You earn points for things like killing enemies, good placements in the Blackout mode, or challenges.

Is there Prestige in Black Ops 4, as known from previous CoD titles? No, unlike the traditional multiplayer, there is no Prestige in Blackout. Whether the Prestige mode will possibly be added for Blackout at a later date is currently unknown.

What is the Prestige mode? The Prestige mode is an additional challenge in the progression system of many Call of Duty titles. After reaching the max level, you can switch to Prestige.

This resets you back to Level 1. However, you receive new Prestige challenges and can earn certain exclusive items that you can only obtain through Prestige – such as Prestige calling cards or Prestige symbols. In contrast to the Prestige mode, at least the Prestige Emblems are part of Black Ops 4.

What about the Hardcore mode? The well-known Hardcore mode from the last title, where a single hit could mean death, will not be present in Blackout according to Treyarch (David Vonderhaar). However, it has not been ruled out for other multiplayer modes in Black Ops 4.

How do you level up in Call of Duty Blackout?

The leveling or progression system in the Blackout mode differs in some aspects from the regular multiplayer. It can sometimes feel frustrating as you may not feel rewarded to the same extent as you do in the regular multiplayer. Here are some things to keep in mind:

What are Merits in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout? For killing enemies, completing certain challenges, and achieving good placements or even victories, you earn points in Blackout. These points are called Merits.

Upon reaching a certain Merit score, you level up. Essentially, it is a Blackout-specific term for XP – experience points.

What are the Echelons in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout? The ranks or levels of your character are referred to as Echelons in Black Ops 4. By collecting Merit points, you advance through the Echelons – up to the max level of 80.

What are the Tiers in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout?

The Echelons – that is, the ranks – in the Blackout mode of Black Ops 4 are divided into five different Tiers. In each Tier, you are assigned a different title. This way, you can better assess whether an opponent is an experienced player or more of a beginner. The following Tiers exist in Blackout:

Ranger (Echelon 1-19)
Frogman (Echelon 20-39)
Airborne (Echelon 41-60)
Seal (Echelon 61-79)
Battle Hardened (Echelon 80).

What are the Challenges in the Blackout mode?

The Blackout challenges are specific challenges that earn you additional Merit points upon successful completion.

The challenges are divided into two main categories, each of which splits into two subcategories:

Career Challenges: include Professional Challenges and Survivalist Challenges
Operations Challenges: include Heroics and Vehicular

Most of these challenges consist of three stages, which secure you additional Merit points upon completion. In addition, there are Dark Ops challenges, which are secret and will only be revealed once you have mastered them.

The following Blackout challenges are currently known:

Career – Professional Challenges:

My First Time: Earn your first victory
Winner Winner: Win 10x
I’ll Do It Myself: Win 5x any duos or quads match as the last surviving player of your team
Solo Victory: Achieve 5 victories in this mode

von Jürgen Horn

How do you get Prestige Emblems and what are they?

To unlock a Prestige emblem in Call of Duty Black Ops 4, you must level up your profile in traditional multiplayer to level 55. Once this is done, you will receive the first Prestige 1 emblem. To unlock further Prestige symbols, you need to participate in regular multiplayer matches and earn experience there.

There will also be events and challenges over time to help level up faster. You can view the individual Prestige emblems in the following image:

ArcheAge 5.0 Relics of Hiram has a release date, but players want something else

Andreas Bertits 13. October 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Trion Worlds has announced the release date of the new major expansion Relics of Hiram for the MMORPG ArcheAge. This means a new region full of dangers awaits you.

ArcheAge will be expanded with a new region that offers you more content. While this is great for the online game, the fans actually want something different.

New Content is Coming

What does Relics of Hiram bring? The new major update introduces the West Hiram Mountains region into the game.

Face new monsters and challenges in the area
Collect the Hiram Equipment Set – by completing daily quests, you can obtain the individual pieces of the Hiram Guardian Set
Increase the Ancestor Level
Improved house customizations
New achievements
The 11th skill set Malediction – with a total of 45 new class combinations, Malediction allows you to master powerful dark magic to exploit the weaknesses of your enemies and strengthen yourself.

When will the update be released? Trion Worlds has stated that Relics of Hiram will be released on October 24th.

A “Server Evolution” is Planned

This is how the developers make server merges appealing: In the future, there will also be some server merges that Trion Worlds is calling “Server Evolution”. Two or more worlds are set to merge into a completely new one. These “evolutions” are planned:

North America
- Aranzeb, Kyrios, Reckoning, Vengeance, and Krakenn will merge into Aria
- Conviction and Thunderwing will merge into Kadum
Europe
- Shatigon, Eanna, and Prophetie will evolve into Taris
- Tempest and Retribution will become Jakar

What do the fans think of it? Fans of ArcheAge are generally excited about new content and the changes that Relics of Hiram brings. However, there is a consensus that the MMORPG currently has other issues besides having too little content.

Dimmizer on MMORPG.com writes, for example: “What ArcheAge needs is to remove Pay2Win!”

If you want to see Update 5.0 Relics of Hiram before release, you can watch a live stream of ArcheAge from Trion Worlds on October 19.

It will still take a little while until the next Global Event in The Division. This will start on October 22nd. Until then, you can check out the next batch of new items from the vendors.

Every week, on the night from Friday to Saturday, the big vendor reset takes place. We show you the best offers.

Recommended Weapons Since October 13th

Special Equipment Vendor: MP5 ST with Deadly, Careful, and Determined. After the House, probably the strongest submachine gun and is well-suited for PvE with these talents. Replace Careful with Destructive.
The Grindhouse: MG5 with Careful, Destructive, and Precise. Strong LMG with good PvE talents. Careful is not a bad talent for LMGs, but you can replace it with Robber if needed. You can also replace Precise with Malicious or Determined, but this will affect the weapon’s handling.
E 31st St: M45A1 Pistol with Expert and Cool-Headed. If you need a sidearm, you should grab this. Cool-Headed allows you to reduce the cooldown of your skills when you land headshots. Replace Expert with whatever you deem useful.

So kann jeder Fortnite kostenlos auf Android herunterladen und spielen

Jürgen Horn 13. October 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale is now available at the end of the Android beta for all supported devices. But which smartphones and tablets are eligible for release and how do you install the game?

Android release of Fortnite: Since mid-2018 Fortnite has been available as a beta for Android. Only those who registered for a key could gain access. That’s over now. From now on, you can download Fortnite on all devices with the Android operating system, provided it meets the minimum requirements.

Which phones support Fortnite?

The following devices in this list definitely support Fortnite on Android:

Samsung: Galaxy: S7 / S7 Edge , S8 / S8+, S9 / S9+, Note 8, Note 9, Tab S3, Tab S4
Google: Pixel / Pixel XL, Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL
Asus: ROG Phone, Zenfone 4 Pro, 5Z, V
Essential: PH-1
Huawei: Honor 10, Honor Play, Mate 10 / Pro, Mate RS, Nova 3, P20 / Pro, V10
LG: G5, G6, G7 ThinQ, V20, V30 / V30+
Nokia: 8
OnePlus: 5 / 5T, 6
Razer: Phone
Xiaomi: Blackshark, Mi 5 / 5S / 5S Plus, 6 / 6 Plus, Mi 8 / 8 Explorer / 8SE, Mi Mix, Mi Mix 2, Mi Mix 2S, Mi Note 2
ZTE: Axon 7 / 7s, Axon M, Nubia / Z17 / Z17s, Nubia Z11
HTC: 10, U Ultra, U11/ U11+, U12+
Lenovo: Moto Z/Z Droid, Moto Z2 Force
Sony: Xperia XZ/Premium, Xzs, XZ1/Compact, XZ2/Premium/Compact, XZ3

So it should be a smartphone of the newer generation for Fortnite to run properly.

Help, my smartphone is not on the list! Then you might still be lucky. Because according to Epic, Fortnite should also run on devices that at least meet the following requirements:

Operating system: Android 8.0 or higher, 64 Bit
RAM: 3GB or more (4 GB is recommended)
Graphics processor: Adreno 530 or higher, Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or higher

Fortnite on Android as a download

I can’t find Fortnite anywhere in the Google Play Store! Epic still distributes Fortnite not through the regular Android app store Google Play. The reason for this is that Epic does not want to pay 30 percent to Google.

Where can I download Fortnite for Android? If you want Fortnite on your Android device, you need to download the game directly from Epic. You can either go to the Fortnite homepage or use the QR code on this image here.

However, to install the app, you first need to enable the corresponding option to install apps from unknown sources on your device.

Beware of scammers! Since the Fortnite app does not come from the Google Play Store, there are many scammers who want to sell you fake versions full of viruses. These offers often lure with free V-Bucks and goodies.

However, these offers are fake. Always use only the official Epic site if you want to download Fortnite on Android.

Singleplayer fans give Black Ops 4 a lot of negative ratings

Tarek Zehrer 13. October 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

While Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 generally performs well with the press, it receives harsh criticism from some user reviews on Metacritic. Where do the negative ratings come from?

Today, October 12, is the official release of Black Ops 4, and the first ratings from the press look good. On Metacritic, the latest Call of Duty installment scores 87.

In contrast, user reviews show about a third of the ratings are negative. Where does this come from if Black Ops 4 is doing so well with the press? The main reason for players’ frustration is likely the (non-existent) story mode.

Why is there no singleplayer campaign, according to developer Treyarch? The singleplayer campaign was never intended for Black Ops 4. From the very beginning, the focus was on multiplayer, incorporating story elements and improving social aspects.

No campaign, but Battle Royale – not everyone agrees with this

This is why many user reviews are negative: According to the reviews on Metacritic, some fans are still dissatisfied with the absence of a story campaign in Black Ops 4. There are numerous negative ratings, mainly concerning the missing campaign.

Many suspect that a campaign was cut in favor of the battle royale mode.

At the time (afternoon on October 12, 2018) this article was written, negative reviews have increased from 35 (out of 105) to 70 (out of 130). The overall rating from users stands at 5.7.

5 things you should know before buying Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

von Sven Galitzki

That they are getting a battle royale mode is for many only a small consolation. Not everyone is a fan of battle royale and would hardly willingly give up a story for it. They want Activision and Treyarch to feel this through negative ratings.

But there are story missions, right? Even the missions for individual specialists are not enough for many as a replacement. These are cooperative missions that can be played solo as well. It is criticized that they are nothing more than small tutorials that one hardly wants to play more than once.

What else is being criticized? Some players believe that Black Ops 4 should not be a full-price title since this is no longer justified without a campaign.

Call_of_Duty_Black_Ops_4_multiplayer_Firebreak_01-WM

Others find: Story was never the most important in CoD

On reddit, the topic is viewed not as negatively; many are much more relaxed about the missing story.

This is what fans respond to the criticism:

Singleplayer has never been the most important in Call of Duty
The stories were usually mediocre to bad
Campaigns were usually very short…
and offered little replay value
Besides, with annual CoD installments, one can forgo the story for a year

Therefore, many can overlook the fact that the campaign is sacrificed for more multiplayer content.

That Black Ops 4 is still a full-price title does not bother most, as there are enough content with Blackout and the zombie mode in addition to the regular multiplayer. Furthermore, Treyarch plans to deliver content for years.

Are you bothered by the missing campaign?

Pokémon GO distributed invitations to EX-Raids facing issues again

Noah Struthoff 12. October 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

On Thursday evening, invitations for EX-Raids in Pokémon GO were sent out again. The day before, there were some issues.

When do the EX-Raids take place? The wave of new EX-Raid passes is scheduled for October 15 and 16. Trainers will again have the opportunity to challenge Deoxys.

Second wave: This is now the second wave of EX-Raid invitations for Deoxys. The last raids took place on October 1 and 2.

New EX-Raids in October – How the Community Reacts

The majority of the community is excited about the new passes. For some players, it is even the first invitation to a Deoxys EX-Raid.

Why sharing EX-Raid passes is so important for Pokémon GO

von Patrick Freese

More Issues with Distribution

What is the problem? Niantic already made a first attempt on Wednesday evening and distributed passes. However, these reached only a few players. Most players were quite surprised when they did not receive an invitation, even though they had qualified for the EX-Raid in advance.

Hardly any player was invited: In many communities, players complained that only one player in their group received an invitation. In other EX-Raids, only two to three players were invited.

Already during the last distribution of EX-Raids, many players complained. Players were invited to raids that were supposed to start just 20 minutes after receiving the invitation.

Mockery from the players: On Reddit, users mocked the initial raid cancellations from the day before the invitations. The user “chefjonnie” writes “Cancelled EX-Raid for a wave that never happened”. He also posts a picture of a notice regarding a canceled EX-Raid.

The user “dawgystyle” responded and addressed the raid passes that one receives as compensation: “I would prefer two Mewtwo over one Deoxys.”

More errors from Niantic: It is not the first time that Niantic has trouble implementing new features in the game. Already with the EX-Raid pass distributions for Mewtwo, there were initial difficulties and dissatisfaction within the community.

To effectively defeat the new EX-Raid boss Deoxys, we recommend these counters.

Kill someone by trap – This is how you complete the hardest challenge in Fortnite

Jürgen Horn 12. October 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale has brought back one of the most hated challenges in week 3. You need to eliminate an opponent with a trap again. This is tricky and annoying, but it can be done easily with this trick.

What is the deal with the trap challenge? Few tasks – perhaps aside from time trials – are hated by players in Fortnite more than the cursed trap challenge. For this, you need to get kills with traps. In week 3 of season 6, this task raises its ugly head again.

What’s so bad about the task? First of all, you need to find a damage trap and place it in a location where opponents are. And the opponents also need to walk into the traps, which are actually quite visible.

Nevertheless, there are a few methods that work reasonably reliably.

How to optimal place traps:

The offensive variant: Professionals use traps offensively as a weapon. They build a thick fortress and when an opponent breaks in, they simply place traps on the walls, floors, and ceilings. The opponent often doesn’t see it coming and meets a miserable end in the traps.
The defensive variant: Sneaky individuals hide traps under the ceiling of rooms that cannot be seen from the door. They often place a bait, such as a purple or legendary weapon, and then close the door again. Some players who open the door later will greedily approach the item and then be killed by the trap shortly thereafter.

Both methods require a certain skill level. But it can also be easier. Much easier!

The easiest method to solve the trap task

If you don’t feel like placing traps or actively using the constructions, you can get the kill with minimal effort.

Guaranteed trap kill: Start a 50vs50 game and get a trap. Then head into the battle and take down an opponent.

When the opponent is helplessly crawling on the ground, build walls around them and place the trap on top. Shortly thereafter, the trap should tear apart the unfortunate player, and you will easily have the kill.

That’s why 50vs50 is best suited: Of course, this trick also works in other team modes, like 4-man squad or duos. But in the 50vs50 mode, defeated opponents do not disappear when your last teammate goes down. Therefore, this mode is overall the best option. And you will find more loot there too.

The best weapons in CoD: Black Ops 4 Blackout – Which ones are worth it?

Sven Galitzki 12. October 2018 Reading time 6 minutes

We show you the best weapons from the Blackout mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and explain when they are particularly worthwhile.

As soon as you dive into the Battle Royale mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the large number of different weapons can overwhelm some players. The numerous firearms are found randomly. It is not always clear which weapons are truly useful and which ones should be kept throughout a match.

Which weapon is the right one? There are tons of weapons in Blackout mode, and each of them can and should be useful in certain situations. The developers have emphasized this often.

At the start of a round, every weapon found is better than nothing. However, as the match progresses, you will come across many more examples, and it is important to weigh whether you should keep your current weapon or look for something better. You can’t go wrong with the following weapons.

The best weapons for the Blackout mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

One thing to note: This list does not include pistols. Pistols are only useful in the first moments of a match and should be quickly exchanged for better weapons. Because against armored enemies, they are virtually useless, and you will generally be at a disadvantage against any other type of weapon.

GKS (Submachine Gun)

What makes the GKS special? The GKS has a moderate rate of fire, remains relatively stable, and is easy to control, especially for beginners. However, this submachine gun is only really effective at close range. With increasing distance, the weapon quickly loses its effectiveness.

When should you use the GKS? The GKS is particularly worthwhile from the start until about the middle of the match. Especially when you are initially navigating through numerous buildings in search of better equipment, the GKS is a solid choice.

However, as the game progresses, you should look for a replacement. As soon as you find an assault rifle, swap out the SMG. Because as more and more players wear Level 2 or Level 3 body armor, the effectiveness of SMGs is generally significantly reduced.

Until then, the GKS is a consistently solid secondary weapon and pairs well with a mid-range assault or sniper rifle.

Here are more SMG alternatives: Other decent SMGs are the Spitfire and the MX-9. If you don’t have a GKS on hand and come across one of these two weapons, you can easily use them until you find a better alternative.

SG-12 (Shotgun)

What makes the SG-12 special? All shotguns in Blackout are strong, but they have a significant drawback – low penetration and range. You must get really close to the enemy and aim to unleash the full power of the weapon. Since the SG-12 fires automatically, it is the better choice among the two shotguns.

When should you use the SG-12? At the beginning of a match and especially in tight spaces like houses or the yacht from Hijacked, the SG-12 is very powerful and a good alternative. At the start, many encounters occur in close quarters, as players increasingly search houses and other buildings for loot.

Once you have the opportunity, you should swap out the SG-12 as the match progresses, or keep it as a secondary weapon if you prefer to barricade yourself in buildings. However, you are better off with an assault rifle as your primary weapon.

KN-57 (Assault Rifle)

What makes the KN-57 special? The KN-57 is essentially a fictional variant of the AK-47. Due to its caliber, it is strong against body armor, has manageable and predictable recoil, and generally high damage. It is easy for beginners to handle but also a reliable alternative for veterans.

When should you use the KN-57? Especially at distances up to 100m, the KN performs well. With a stock, a grip, and a sight with low magnification (2x), the KN is also a reliable weapon at the end of each round.

Further alternatives: Another good assault rifle is the Maddoxx RFB. This weapon is also precise, hits hard, and can also be well controlled. However, these advantages diminish quickly with increasing range.

One of the best weapons if you find it – The Auger DMR Tactical Rifle

Perfect when you don’t have a sniper rifle: The Auger DMR is a semi-automatic tactical rifle with the range of a sniper rifle. It is very strong, precise, and pairs perfectly with a sniper scope. You can fight at long distances with it, but with a bit of practice and finesse, you can also easily take out enemies in close range.

Very good, but rare: In short: The DMR is basically one of the best, if not the best weapon in the game. Its only major drawback – it is very rare.

Titan – The best (and only) light machine gun (LMG)

The only LMG in Blackout: The Titan is currently the only LMG in Blackout, unless you count the special weapon. This weapon makes you slower and takes forever to reload. But it has a large magazine, and you can shoot quite accurately with it when using the sight. Crouch or lie down – then you will noticeably reduce the recoil of the Titan.

Perfect for suppression – but not a primary weapon: The Titan is well suited for mid-range combat and as a suppression weapon. In an emergency, you also don’t have to worry about precision. You can shoot continuously with it and just lead the weapon on target – the magazine is large enough.

As a sustained primary weapon, however, it is less suitable. In addition, it has a strong bullet drop at long distances. However, in combination with an assault rifle or, in an emergency, with an SMG, the Titan can still be useful.

Paladin HB50 – The best one-shot sniper in Blackout

The Paladin can kill with one shot: The Paladin HB50 is the best weapon of the Blackout mode for long distances. It fires slowly but deals massive damage and can kill opponents with a headshot if they are not wearing Level 3 body armor and are not “overhealed” to 200 health points with a Trauma Kit.

A strong alternative to the Paladin: The second sniper rifle – the Koshka – is also an excellent sniper and is only slightly inferior in a direct comparison. It fires faster than the Paladin but deals less damage. With a little practice, the Paladin is the more effective sniper when it comes to taking down a target with 1-2 shots.

Hellion Salvo Rocket Launcher – The vehicle terror in Blackout

No use in solo mode: The rocket launchers are actually a total inventory space waste. You can only carry four rockets in total, the rocket launcher itself is found only rarely, and it is relatively weak against human targets. When playing solo, there are no real reasons to carry this thing around.

Effective in Quads and Duos: In team modes, however, this changes dramatically. Trucks or helicopters can be absolutely deadly in the hands of a skilled team. And here, the Hellion rocket launcher can show its strengths. It can track its target and with a precise shot, take out an entire squad along with the appropriate vehicle.

Best escape tool in the Blackout mode – The Grapple Gun

A tool and not a weapon: A gadget that is worth it: While the Grapple Gun is not a real weapon, it is one of the coolest gadgets you will find in Blackout mode. Every Grapple Gun – a kind of grappling hook – comes with five shots.

That’s why this gadget is worth it: You can use it to climb tall buildings like Batman, escape from hopeless danger situations, or attack from positions where no one would expect you. If you find it, be sure to try it out. It’s worth it!
