Here is how to get this real Destiny 2 weapon without paying $777,777

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, you can purchase a replica of a weapon at a discounted price, which usually costs $777,777.77. To do this, you need to achieve a great performance in PvP.

Expensive weapon in the Bungie Store: Currently, in the Bungie Store, the replica of the legendary hand cannon “Luna’s Howl” is available for purchase. The price is listed at a hefty $777,777.77 – because the number 7 is Bungie’s favorite number. Converted, that’s over 660,000 Euros.

Who can afford this? Bungie does not expect anyone to actually place this weapon in their living room for that amount of money. Instead, it is a reward for the best PvP Guardians.

If you obtain the weapon Luna’s Howl in Destiny 2, you can now get a discount code as part of the “Bungie Rewards” to acquire the weapon replica at a discounted price.

How much does the weapon replica cost if I earn the code? Unfortunately, the replica isn’t free. You will need to pay $54.99 – which is about 47 Euros without shipping.

How to get Luna’s Howl in Destiny 2

To get the discount code, you need to obtain Luna’s Howl in the game. The weapon is tied to a long and difficult quest line.

How to earn Luna’s Howl:

  • Go to Lord Shaxx in the Tower and get the red ticket called “Shock and Awe” from the quests in his inventory. This quest will lead you to the weapon.
  • Play 10 matches in the competitive PvP playlist.
  • Get 150 hand cannon kills in Competitive.
  • Get 200 Solar kills in Competitive.
  • Complete 3 Rumble matches.
  • Achieve 100 hand cannon precision kills in Competitive.
  • Reach the Glory rank “Famous” in Competitive. The ranks are Guardian, Brave, Heroic, Famous, Mythic, and Legendary.
  • Return to Shaxx for your reward.

Note: In Competitive, you lose points for every loss in the Glory rank system. Achieving the Famous rank can therefore be quite a challenge for many players. Compared to last season, however, you lose significantly fewer points per loss. So the quest is also achievable for non-PvP pros if you invest enough time.

Information about the weapon replica Luna’s Howl

How long do I have to get the discount code? The Bungie reward is only valid until December 5, 2018 at 04:59 AM. By then, you must have earned the weapon and requested the discount code on the Bungie site.

destiny-3-lunas-geheul

The weapon replica: The weapon comes in a 1:4 scale. You have until December 31, 2018 to enter your code in the Bungie Store. The weapon will be shipped in the first quarter of 2019.

What can Luna’s Howl do in Destiny 2?

According to initial user reports, Luna’s Howl is a top weapon in PvP, making it fun to hunt down other Guardians.

It belongs to the hand cannon archetype with precision frame – it fires quickly and with high precision. The stability is top-notch, with a rate of fire of 180:

stats

Luna’s Howl has a special perk called “Magnificent Howl”: Two quick consecutive precision shots grant bonus damage for a short time until you get the next kill or miss your shot.

  • Additionally, with Zen Moment, stability is increased when damage is dealt with the weapon.
  • And magazine drop causes the magazine to be ejected when reloading. This wastes ammunition, but significantly increases the reload speed.
  • Polygonal Rifling increases stability.

Luna’s Howl has fixed perks.

Are you getting the weapon? And is the replica interesting for you?

The 1st major gameplay improvement for Fortnite Season 6 is known

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Epic Games has now introduced the first gameplay enhancement for Fortnite with the new Season 6: the sound is supposed to provide attentive players with even more information about their surroundings. The improvement will come with the new update 6.0.

Season 6 also brings a major patch: As in previous months, the new season will also bring a “big” patch with a round version number.

This will be patch 6.0 for Fortnite, which is expected on Thursday afternoon, September 27. Then Season 6 in Fortnite will also start.

Fortnite-New-Skins-01

Sound should provide more information

Spatial sound is important: The first major improvement for Season 6 is based, according to Epic, on player feedback. The sound effects should be utilized even better for making tactical decisions.

The sounds with patch 6.0 are supposed to clarify,

  • whether a player is running above or below their position – even when other sounds are audible
  • whether a player is using the glider – this is now supposed to be heard from a greater distance
Fortnite-Oblivion-Titel

Further improvements planned to hear “flying players”

More is coming throughout the season: During the ongoing Season 6, that is in October and November, further changes to the sound system will be made.

Players should then be able to hear more clearly:

  • when players fly through the air using bounce pads or shockwave grenades and land behind their own position – players should be able to discern from which direction such opponents are approaching

Additionally, Epic wants to fix some bugs that currently cause no sounds to be played in chaotic situations.

fortnite-ritter

What else does Season 6 bring? There is currently still quite little known about that.

Since the cube fell into Loot Lake, it has been quite calm in Fortnite. However, one can assume that Epic still has a lot in store. Now “the hot phase” of the year begins. New games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield 5 are coming, Fortnite will have to impress in Season 6 to secure its position.

Big leaks like before are not present at the season’s end but this time. It will be exciting to see what else happens in the days leading up to Thursday. Currently, a bonus EXP event is ongoing in Fortnite.

Here’s how you find out what else changes: As soon as we receive more information about the changes in Season 6, you will find out first through our Facebook page with 100% information about Fortnite.

Conan Exiles: How to gain access to the new dungeon Midnight Grove

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

In the “Midnight Grove” in Conan Exiles, new enemies and a new religion await you. How to enter it and what you can see there is explained here.

What is the Midnight Grove? The “Midnight Grove” is a new dungeon for several high-level players, which will be released with the next update for Conan Exiles. The grove is a maze through which you must fight your way to defeat the various bosses.

As a reward, you will receive new ingredients and recipes as well as access to a new religion. The Midnight Grove is currently available on the test live servers. A concrete release date is not yet available.

In a livestream, the developers have already revealed how to get into the new dungeon and what you can loot there.

Conan Exiles Screenshot Midnight Grove Dungeon

How do I enter the Midnight Grove?

Obtaining the “Potion of Midnight”: To enter the Midnight Grove, you first need to obtain a “Potion of Midnight”. After drinking the potion, you will be instantly teleported to the dungeon.

You can get the potion from the “Child of Jhebbal Sag” north of the nameless city. You just need to bring him 5 units of raw meat, and in return, you will receive one of the potions.

With the upcoming update, a grid for the map will be added in Conan Exiles. The NPC is located in field D8.

Potion of Midnight – Recipe and Crafting: You can also learn the recipe for the Potion of Midnight from the Child of Jhebbal Sag. Just talk to the wolf and learn “Midnight Alchemist” from him.

After the Child of Jhebbal Sag teaches you how to prepare it, you can easily prepare the midnight potions at a firebowl cauldron. You will need:

  • 1x glass bottle filled with water
  • 5x blood
  • 3x bone meal
  • 20x yellow lotus powder
Conan Exiles Screenshot Kind von Jhebbal Sag
The Child of Jhebbal Sag: Here you can acquire the Potion of Midnight and the recipe.

What is there in the Midnight Grove?

Ingredients for new recipes: In the Midnight Grove, you can find a new ingredient called “Shadebloom” when harvesting defeated bosses. With Shadebloom, you can prepare “Shadebloom Meat”.

According to community manager Jens Erik, the food should increase the likelihood of getting a larger or better pet when raising it with your animal companions. Larger companions have more attack power and health points and a different appearance.

The pet system will also be introduced with the new patch, along with the Midnight Grove.

Conan Exiles Babytiger Titel

Access to the religion of Jhebbal Sag: The final boss of the Midnight Grove is a large werewolf, Jhebbal Sag’s champion. If you defeat the werewolf, you can loot his flesh from him.

Conan Exiles Screenshot Jhebbal Sags Champion

If you consume the werewolf flesh, you gain access to the new religion of Jhebbal Sag, which revolves around the new companion system. You will learn the recipes for his altar and several religious items. 

Outlook: More dungeons and better respawn

Respawn in the dungeon: Along with the “Midnight Grove” dungeon, a new respawn system will be introduced. You can choose to be resurrected at the beginning of a dungeon when you die.

This is particularly advantageous because you cannot place sleeping bags in dungeons. After death, you can decide whether to abandon the dungeon or continue, without having to travel back.

The respawn feature in the dungeon will initially only be available in the Midnight Grove. For the other dungeons like the Dregs, it will be implemented later.

Even more dungeons: After the Midnight Grove, two more dungeons are expected to be released for Conan Exiles. Community manager Jens Erik hinted during the livestream that there could be even three.

8 Things You Should Not Do in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

The start in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team can be difficult – especially if you are newcomers. There are some things that can make your start particularly challenging.

Tips from the FIFA pro: The English streamer and “FUT Champions” Top 100 player Zelonius has summarized several tips for this year’s Ultimate Team mode for the site fifauteam. Here are 8 things you should definitely avoid in FIFA 19 FUT.

[toc]

Do not build teams without a plan

1. Don’t swap your team too often! Just when you have perfectly assembled your team, you suddenly see the perfect player on the transfer market. You definitely want him – but your team doesn’t fit. Don’t immediately overhaul your whole squad. When you sell players, you lose 5 percent of the sale value. This could quickly become a losing deal for you if you just acquired the players.

2. Be careful with Squad Building Challenges! The Squad Building Challenges are a great way to earn exciting players or sets. But be cautious: Some SBCs are not worth it at all and just consume your coins. So don’t do every challenge! If you only get a loan player for a few games, the investment isn’t worth it in the long run. Or if there are only rewards that don’t help your team.

FIFA 19 SBC

Don’t play too emotionally

3. No Rage Quits! Sure, when you’re down 0:4, the game seems over. But how often have such games been turned around? Furthermore, you ruin your coin multiplier: With every rage quit, you receive fewer coins in the next matches. And it takes many games for the multiplier to increase again.

4. No “Total Attack” at 0:1! An unexpected goal against can be quite frustrating. Especially in phases where you were actually on the attack. However, do not throw everything into the attack department: You can easily concede more goals this way. Play your game to the end with focus. The chance of turning the match around is significantly higher this way.

fifa-19-bayern-müller
Don’t fully utilize the transfer market

5. Don’t invest everything in one player! If you’re playing a Bundesliga team, the new TOTW card of Timo Werner looks pretty great. The problem is, there’s nothing behind it in your team. Invest your money early on in the depth of your squad instead.

6. No lazy transfers! Often players are offered at extremely inflated prices on the transfer market. The problem: Many players look for a specific card and buy it directly on the first page of the transfer market. Be smart: Scroll further back, compare prices. This way you can save a lot of money. By the way, there are some affordable starter teams in FUT!

fifa-19-starter-squad-50000
Invest coins thoughtfully

7. Don’t waste your money on packs! This also applies especially at the beginning of the season. You have few coins, and at the same time, there are hardly any packs that promise absolute top players. Invest instead on the transfer market and get packs through Squad Battles, for example.

8. Don’t hoard your coins until the end! It’s like with the classic “elixir” in role-playing games: “Maybe I will need this later” – and then you never use it. Use your coins! Otherwise, by the release of FIFA 20, you might have 100,000 coins in your account but no decent Ultimate Team. A good way to earn coins is through the daily gifts in the Web and Companion App.

With these tips, success at the beginning of the season should be secured for now. Do you want more tips? Here you can find 8 tips for the perfect start in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team! You can also already try your hand on the transfer market in the FIFA 19 Web App and the FIFA 19 Companion App.

WildStar celebrates Christmas before it closes – But when?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

WildStar will die. But when exactly? A few months seem to be left for fans to play. Or is Christmas being brought forward for the MMORPG?

WildStar did not achieve the success it deserved. That is why Carbine announced a while ago that the studio is closing and also WildStar will be shut down.

However, an important detail was not explained: When exactly will the WildStar servers shut down?

This is something many fans have wondered about and were clearly confused when WildStar was still advertising the Halloween and Christmas events. The community manager has now spoken up in the official forum and explained that the ads are not a mistake. Both events will still take place in WildStar.

There is still no exact date for the end of WildStar. The remaining players can still experience the two events one last time.

The question is:

  • Will Christmas really take place at the end of the year and will WildStar stay up until then?
  • Or will the events be brought forward so that players can experience them one last time?

Currently, it seems that Carbine prefers option 2. In the forum, it says that they COULD also celebrate the events at other times than in previous years (via WildStar forum).

We have also already said goodbye to WildStar.

Pokémon GO: New Pokémon spawns like crazy – is this a bug?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO, reports of a new Pokémon that spawns everywhere are increasing. It also transforms into Ditto.

Have you seen it in your area? A mysterious Pokémon was discovered in the code of Pokémon GO yesterday, believed to be a monster of the 8th generation. Today, on September 22, trainers suddenly find monsters with the same appearance everywhere. When they catch it, it transforms into another monster. There are already initial speculations about what this phenomenon might relate to.

Trainers can’t believe their eyes – Icygno? Ditto?

Since Saturday morning, strange new Pokémon have suddenly appeared in the wild. Trainers report that these are sometimes found in groups.

Data miner found it first: Already on Friday, data miner Chrales found the new model in the data traffic of Pokémon GO. It resembles a Ditto with a nut for a head.

Initially in the code, now in the wild: Yesterday, there was still speculation about what the new Pokémon model could be. Now more and more trainers are suddenly reporting finding Pokémon with this appearance in the wild.

The following screenshot was shared by user Swate- with the TheSilphRoad community. It shows many of the new models in the “Nearby” view.

Pokémon GO Ditto Nut

What happens when you catch it? Trainers report that the Pokémon transforms into Ditto after being caught. Player beebloo writes on Reddit: “They all transform into Ditto. What’s happening here? I’ve already caught 6 of them.” Actually, Ditto only transforms from these monsters in Pokémon GO

Other trainers report that the new monster transforms into Chikorita during the event. It has its community day today, which is already active in some regions. In the video, you can see one such catch that transforms into Chikorita.

This is the speculation about the new Pokémon

It is believed that the new monster is some kind of placeholder for Chikorita for the community day.

What does that mean? During the community day today, many more Chikorita will spawn in the wild. These strange Pokémon that are now appearing are likely placeholders that will then transform into Chikorita at the start of the event. You can also see in the video above that the catch was counted toward the quest “Catch 3 Chikorita”.

Pokémon GO Community Day Chikorita
The Community Day with Chikorita – All information

Why can we see them already? This might be a bug, and the monsters were supposed to be invisible.

Previous observations:

  • If you catch such a nut-monster without the community day, it transforms into Ditto
  • If you catch it during the community day event, it transforms into Chikorita
  • TheSilphRoad found out that the new Pokémon uses the cry of Kecleon. In APK 0.119.1, Kecleon’s cry was replaced with the one the new Pokémon makes
  • Update 14:10: Even after the community day, the new monsters are spawning in the wild again
  • Update 14:30: It seems that the nuts are all gone again or the spawns have been greatly reduced.

What this curious appearance is really about is unclear. However, the theory about placeholders for the community day is very plausible.

As soon as there is news about this special monster, you will find the news on our Facebook page about Pokémon GO.

Tarek Zehrer Tarek Zehrer Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division today, on September 22, the big vendor reset is happening. We present to you the items from the vendors that are particularly worthwhile.

While there is not much going on in The Division at the moment, the next Global Event “Ambush” starts on Monday, September 24. In this event, you can obtain the Classified version of the AlphaBridge set, Fire Crest, Hunter’s Faith, and Tactician’s Authority from special containers.

If you want to prepare for the event already, check out the vendors. Their offerings are randomly rerolled every week from Friday night to Saturday during the vendor reset. These are the best items for the coming week.

division-agent-west-side

Recommended Weapons since September 22

  • Camp Clinton: AK-74 Black Market Version with Responsive, Malicious and Vengeful. While not a meta weapon, it is still not bad. Comes with a high damage roll, and the talents are ideal for PvP. Instead of Malicious, replace it with Deadly.
  • Camp Clinton: SASG-12 Tactical with Destructive, Trained and Determined. This shotgun is likely the best in the game after the Showstopper and has a high damage roll. It also has strong talents for PvE. Rather than Trained, you should consider talents like Predator or Responsive depending on your preference.
  • E 42nd St: Surplus SVD with Brutal, Prepared and Disciplined. A good sniper rifle, especially suitable for the Vigilante set. While the gear score is not high, it is difficult to find an SVD with good talents thanks to the fixed talent, Disciplined. Alternatively, you have a wide selection of better options, such as Determined, Malevolent, Precise, and Destructive.
  • Special Equipment Vendor: Pakhan with Determined and Predator. It has a relatively high damage roll and is a good PvE weapon. Instead of Determined, you should use Destructive, Careful or Precise.
division-agenten-schild

The Mods after the Vendor Reset

  • Camp Clinton: Performance Mod with Damage Reduction for the Ballistic Shield (5%)
  • E 46th St: VX-1 Scope (12x) with Headshot Damage (+18%), Crit Damage (+4%) and optimal range
  • Special Equipment Vendor: Performance Mod with Impulse Generator Crit Chance (+2%)
  • E 42nd St: Ti-RANT Suppressor with Crit Chance (+7.5%), optimal range, stability and reduced threat

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Xbox One, iOS, Android, Switch) is starting the second major official eSports tournament today. In Fall Skirmish, there’s more money and fewer games. Here you can follow Fall Skirmish in the live stream on Twitch.

What is Fall Skirmish? Fall Skirmish is the second round of the official eSports tournaments by Epic Games in Fortnite. It’s about a lot of money. Epic has thrown a whopping 10 million US dollars into the prize pool.

Within 6 weeks, successful players can earn a small fortune if they prevail against the competition. Moreover, Epic has changed quite a bit compared to the previous Summer Skirmish, including the classification of players into five “Clubs”.

Fortnite-Highstakes

All Info about the eSports Event

What are Clubs? Clubs are basically teams of 100 players each. The five Clubs are:

  • Fort Knights
  • Lucky Lamas
  • Dusty Dogs
  • Rift Raiders
  • Bush Bandits
fn-teams

Every player in the tournament is part of a Club and represents it throughout the tournament.

How does the tournament work? Every week there are Trials and Competitive Events. In the Trials, all club members can participate, while in the Competitive rounds, only a selected roster.

What are Trials? Players from their respective Clubs form teams that then compete against each other in regular team matches. The teams from each Club with the most eliminations in a single match win cash prizes as well as points for their Club:

  • 1st place: 45,000 $ and 325 points
  • 2nd place: 25,000 $ and 225 points
  • 3rd place: 15,000 $ and 180 points

There are also extra prizes for the events. At the end of the tournament, another 4 million US dollars will be distributed among the Clubs.

How can I participate? If you want a spot in one of the Clubs for a later game, you can still apply. Post a short video on one of your social networks expressing your enthusiasm for a certain Club. Use one of the following hashtags:

  • #FortKnights

fortnite-valkyrie

Epic victories and eliminations will be counted to determine your ranking at the end of the event. The best ten teams at the end of the competition will receive prizes.

Pokémon GO: Community Day with Chikorita – What You Need to Know

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 4 minutes

On Saturday, September 22, the Community Day featuring Chikorita starts in Pokémon GO. We will show you what bonuses and shinies are available for you.

Community Day in Pokémon GO: These are events that take place once a month. Usually on one day for three hours. During this event period, a selected species of Pokémon appears particularly frequently in the wild. The Pokémon or their evolutions can learn a special move and appear in their shiny form.

We will show you everything you need to know about the Community Day featuring Chikorita.

Community Day in September – Bonuses and Times – GMT+0?

  • What: The Pokémon GO Community Day in September 2018
  • When: On Saturday, September 22, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM local time
  • Pokémon of the Day: Chikorita
  • Exclusive Move: Flora Statue
  • Bonus: 3x Experience points for catching Pokémon
  • Bonus: 3-hour Incense
    Pokémon GO Chikorita Comm Day

But in the game it says 9 AM to 12 PM GMT +0? The event time in the Pokémon GO app does not account for the German time zone. We are GMT +2 and therefore need to add 2 hours to this time. So the event runs as usual from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

The dates for the upcoming Community Days are already set

Triple XP when filling the PokéDex: At the same time, the Kanto Event is currently happening. This is your best chance to fill your Gen 1 PokéDex in Pokémon GO.

Shiny Chikorita, Bayleef and Meganium

What are the chances? So far, every Community Day has featured the special Pokémon also in a shiny variant. Therefore, it can be assumed that shiny Chikorita will also appear during the Community Day in September. You can simply catch them in the wild. Confirmation will be given only after the event starts.

Pokémon GO Shiny Chikorita Family

Shiny Evolutions: If you evolve a shiny Chikorita, its evolutions Bayleef and Meganium will also be shiny.

Meganium with Flora Statue, how strong is it?

How do you get a Pokémon with Flora Statue? If you catch or evolve a Meganium during the Community Day on September from 11 AM to 2 PM, it will learn the move Flora Statue. TMs cannot teach this move to Meganium.

Meganium becomes stronger: With the new move, Meganium will definitely be more useful. However, it is still not the best Grass-type attacker.

Pokémon GO Community Day Chikorita Title

In battle simulations, it has been shown that Meganium with Flora Statue only reaches about rank 14 among the best Grass-type attackers. So in the Grass meta, prefer proven Pokémon like Venusaur or Exeggutor instead.

Max CP for Chikorita – 100% IV values?

In what weather does Chikorita become stronger? Chikorita feels particularly comfortable in sunny weather and then strengthens its stats. So hope for sun for strong catches.

How strong is my Chikorita? Chikorita has a maximum of 687 CP at level 30 with 100% IV. With the weather boost, it can reach a maximum of 744 CP at 100% IV.

Copy the following search query and use it as a filter in your collection. These are all CP values that a 100% Chikorita could have.

Pokémon GO Chikorita 100%
Thanks @ LittleSooks

Item Preparation for the Community Day

  • Lucky Eggs – 6 pieces
    • Lucky Eggs will help you particularly well this Saturday, as there is already 3x experience points for catching Pokémon. If you combine it with a Lucky Egg, you will receive 6x experience points for that. Since each lasts half an hour, it’s best to bring six Lucky Eggs for the 3-hour event.
  • Incense – 6 pieces
    • Using Incense will allow you to find more monsters in the wild and simultaneously increase the chance of finding many Chikorita. More monsters mean more extra XP. Since Incense, like Lucky Eggs, only lasts for 30 minutes, we recommend bringing six pieces.
      Pokémon GO Incense
  • Lure Modules – 3 or more
    • Lure Modules will give you even more Pokémon. It’s best to stay at a location with at least three stops and use the modules. Due to the event, one now lasts three hours.
  • Poké Balls – at least 200
    • You should have plenty of Balls in your inventory so that you can catch Pokémon diligently and collect XP. 200 Balls or more are appropriate here.
  • GO Plus – 1x
    • The GO Plus helps you catch Pokémon when you can’t look at your phone too much. It should also calculate your kilometers better than the app itself. This could help when hatching the 7 KM eggs with regional Pokémon.
Pokémon GO Ash Pikachu Giga

To exchange ideas about Pokémon GO with other trainers, we cordially invite you to our Pokémon GO group on Facebook. Those who want to stay updated with the latest news should visit our Facebook page for Pokémon GO.

Have fun! Use this event to catch a lot of Chikorita and hopefully upgrade your shiny collection. If you meet other trainers, it’s best to make friends right away. This has the advantage that you can exchange gifts and even share EX Raid passes.

If this leak is to be believed, the next Pokémon for Community Day is already set

When does Season 6 in Fortnite start? Start date and bonus XP event

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Android, Switch & Xbox One) the start date of Season 6 is finally known. It starts next week. Until then, you can actively level up and catch up on past challenges, as a bonus XP event is running.

When does Season 6 start? After a long time without news, Epic has finally revealed the start date via Twitter. Season 6 begins on September 27, 2018.

When does Season 5 end? The current Season 5 will run until September 26, according to the current timer in the game. This fits with the start date of the next season. However, the timer previously indicated September 24.

fortnite-rocker-titel

How long do I have to complete the challenges of Season 5? If the timer in the game is correct, you should still have time until September 26, 2018. Here you can find all collected weekly tasks as well as the locations of the road trip bonus stars and banners.

Can I still get the Season 5 items when Season 5 is over? Unfortunately no, if you haven’t unlocked certain skins and items from the Battle Pass by the end of the season, you probably will never get them again. So stay on it!

Only exception: If you already have the Drift or Ragnarök skins, you can unlock the additional style options retroactively, as you only need XP for this.

Bonus XP Event and the Season Finale

Is there anything special for the season end? Officially, Epic has announced a large bonus XP event. You will get 400 percent more experience points in the game. This way, you can level up the skins even better. However, the event only lasts until September 24, 2018.

Fortnite-see-01

What happens at the end of Season 5? So far, the end phase of Season 5 has been quite tame. Only the space cube rolled through the landscape, leaving anti-gravity zones behind and almost killed Ninja.

Most recently, the cube tipped into the lake at Loot Lake, which is now purple and works like a trampoline.

Fans suspect that something big will happen soon, and a dark mirror dimension may emerge where evil versions of familiar skins can be found.

What comes in Season 6? The theme of Season 6 is not yet known. Fans speculate on a dark alternative dimension with dark mirror images of the known outfits. That there will be a Halloween event in October is also considered quite certain.

Currently, there is no information on a new map for Fortnite or map changes.

Diablo 3 Season 15: Speed Level Guide – Quickly Reach Level 70 – Tips

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 5 minutes

In this speed leveling guide, we show you methods to quickly reach level 70 in Diablo 3. Possible in solo play or as a group.

At the start of the new Season 15 in Diablo 3, it is important to finish the leveling phase quickly. This way, you can begin with the Nephalem Rifts earlier and farm the “right” gear.

You can find our guide for Season 16 here:

More on the topic
Diablo 3: Season 16 Level Guide – How to quickly reach Level 70
von Patrick Freese

Since there are hardly any players at the beginning who can “boost” other players, a good leveling tactic is important. We show you two methods that will bring you to max level in about two hours (depending on your class).

Do you want to level your second chars/twinks? This guide helps you do it particularly quickly

Speed Leveling / Power Leveling in Season 15

These guides come from members of the Diablo Reddit community, who regularly test and refine these methods. In the last seasons, it has been shown that solo leveling with the massacre bonus is particularly effective and brings a lot of experience points.

This way of leveling is monotonous and boring for many players. However, these are methods that should bring you to max level particularly quickly, not the leveling methods that are the most fun.

D3 Witch Doctor

This is an update of our speed leveling guides from Season 12. These methods are still effective and will quickly take you to max level.

Solo Speed Leveling in Season 15 Patch 2.6.1

As mentioned earlier, this guide relies on massacre bonuses to be effective. The Witch Doctor is best suited for this method, reaching max level in less than 2 hours.

Level 1 – 4

  • Create a game in adventure mode on Hard. Depending on your gear, you should set the difficulty between Hard and Master. If it takes too long to kill the monsters, reduce the difficulty.
  • Hire the Templar
  • Take the weapons of other companions (equip the strongest weapon and use the other for recycling)
  • Start a boss bounty – level up to level 2 or 3 before starting the fight.
  • Recommended bounty bosses are Maghda and Zoltun Kul, as the waypoint is close to the respective boss, and you don’t have to walk far.
  • Remember to take a boss bounty for extra loot from the chest.

Level 4 – 70

  • Teleport to the Fields of Misery or the Halls of Agony and kill monsters there.
  • For additional strong gear, you can kill the Butcher.
  • Once you reach level 8, teleport to the city and craft a 2H axe at the blacksmith.
  • If you got a strong weapon from the blacksmith, go back to the mentioned areas to farm massacre bonuses.
  • If you haven’t leveled with this method yet, it may take some time to master the massacre bonuses. Try to constantly attack enemies to keep the bonus active – the larger the massacre, the better.
  • From level 7, you can buy rings from the merchant – from level 11, there are amulets.
  • Regularly check the city to craft better weapons at the blacksmith.
  • With massacre bonuses, you level up to level 70.
  • In the following video from Desolacer, you can see how this method works with the Witch Doctor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDVlAYrtNNQ

Speed Leveling in Group – Season 15 Patch 2.6.1

There are various methods to complete the first 10 levels. Again, you can start with a boss bounty or split up to complete the Act 1 bounties to get the Cain’s/Born’s set.

Level 1-7

  • Create a game in adventure mode on Hard. Depending on your gear, you should set the difficulty between Hard and Master. If it takes too long to kill the monsters, reduce the difficulty.
  • Take the weapons of other companions (equip the strongest weapon and use the other for recycling)
  • Split up for the Act 1 bounty to get the Cain’s/Born’s set. You should kill bosses together. Teleport to the Halls of Agony level 2 after the boss fight and kill enemies there until you reach level 8.
  • Teleport to the city and craft a 2H axe at the blacksmith.

Level 8-70

  • Check the merchants’ offers for rings with 2-4 damage.
  • Complete Nephalem Rifts. Just before the Rift boss appears, one player in your group should teleport to the city and then quickly close the portal. During the 30 seconds between Nephalem Rifts, you should check the merchants for usable rings and amulets. You can also craft better weapons during this time. Crafting a new weapon is worth it about every 5 levels.
  • The Born’s/Cain’s set can be crafted at level 21/23.

Level 70

  • Now complete the season journey to receive the set gift.
    Diablo 3 Haedrig's Gift Season 10

General Tips for Speed Leveling in Season 15

  • You can complete sections of the season journey while speed leveling. For example, during the 30 seconds wait time between rifts, you can equip companions or transmog items.
  • Crafting weapons:
  • 2H swords at levels 15, 19, 23, 27, 32, 38, 44, 50, 55, 57, 61, 70
  • 2H axes at levels 8, 16, 21, 29, 33, 37, 41, 50, 54, 58, 61, 70
  • From level 42, you can try crafting level 60 weapons with level reduction. If you craft a weapon with a secondary CC ability, you can reroll it for reduction of the level requirement.
  • Craft a new weapon at level 61.
  • Stand close to the enemies when you reach a level-up, as you deal damage during that.
  • Increased movement speed is important for fast leveling.
  • A helmet with a socket should be equipped with a ruby.
  • Keep all cowbells and braided rings so you can play the bonus levels at level 70.
  • Adjust the difficulty to your kill speed. If the mobs die particularly quickly, you can increase the difficulty.

Calmer Level Phase – Without Stress, with Challenge Rift

Another method for leveling in a new season is presented by YouTuber Bluddshedd. He uses the Challenge Rift. So, you should not have completed it this week yet.

His method:

  • Create a season character and get the weapon of a companion in the city
  • Return to the menu
  • Then select the challenge portal and complete it
  • Afterwards, start another game. This time on “Master” difficulty
  • Now open the reward bag of the challenge portal
  • Those who want can now spend blood shards from the bag for weapons or gear
  • Now find a boss bounty and complete it. Zoltun Kul, Maghda or Azmodan are the best – the fights go quickly.
  • Through the bounty, you can hopefully get important items like weapons for you
  • Reduce the difficulty as needed to “Normal” or “Hard” and complete Nephalem Rifts.
  • At level 7, check the merchants in the towns for rings
  • At level 10, look for amulets with merchants in the towns.
  • From here continue with rifts until level 70
    • Make sure to regularly update your weapon – we have already described this in the other two leveling guides in this article.

In the following video, you can see Bluddshedd’s leveling tactic

Cheap starter teams in FIFA 19 FUT that are still strong

Philipp Junge Philipp Junge Reading time 4 minutes

FIFA 19 Ultimate Team has launched and everyone is on the hunt for cheap teams. We present affordable starter teams that you can buy with few coins.

Not everyone wants to invest real money in FIFA or is a trading god and never has to worry about their account.

That’s why we have put together three starter squads for you, with which you can get a strong and competitive team cheaply. The prices are based on September 21st.

FUT 19: Cheap Starter Team for 10,000 Coins

The formation for the cheapest team on our list is the 4-3-3 (2). But you can quickly switch to your favorite formation in-game with the new dynamic tactics. This also applies to all the other following starter squads.

Here is a hybrid team made up mostly of German and French players:

fifa-19-starter-squad-10000

Cost: You can get this team on PS4 for less than 10,000 coins, on Xbox you might have to spend 11,000-12,000 coins.

Defense: Stark and Akpoguma have solid pace and break the 1.90m mark, plus you have Baumann as a strong keeper. Max and Kaderabek both have over 80 pace and very strong crossing values.

Midfield: Particularly strong in this squad is the midfield. With Cyprien and Sanson, you have two absolute all-rounders, while the slightly taller Tousart provides support at the back. Together with the center-backs, you have complete aerial superiority.

von Tom Rothstein

Attack: Modeste is a burly, tall striker who isn’t too slow either. You can feed him well with crosses using your outside defenders. Coco on the left wing is quick, and Salibur comes with the feared combination of 4-star skills and weak foot.

FUT 19: Cheap Starter Team for 25,000 Coins

The second team initially starts in the once very popular 4-3-1-2 formation, which especially closes down the center and allows for quick play forward.

fifa-19-starter-squad-25000-2

Cost: For this starter squad, you will need to pay around 22,000 coins on PS4, but almost 30,000 coins on Xbox.

Defense: With Smalling, the FIFA 17 favorite is present, who has lost pace, but is still a safe bet due to his height. Bartra and Shaw are a bit faster, while on the right, Vidal is a real speedster who also has 4-star skills and weak foot.

Midfield: The midfield consists of Thomas as the destroyer and Herrera as the box-to-box player. Trigueros plays the offensive part of the three, especially the 4-star skills and weak foot combination looks promising.

5-star skillers in FIFA 19: Only these players can perform all tricks
von Gastbeitrag

Attack: For players who prefer quick, agile players, this is the optimal low-budget attack. Boudebouz and Muriel come with 4/4 stars. Ben Yedder has 4-star skills and even 5 on his weak foot, making him two-footed. With this offense, you can quickly move forward and are unpredictable in attack.

FUT 19: Cheap Starter Team for 50,000 Coins

The third team starts with the 4-3-2-1 formation, which has often been seen in previous FIFA editions.

fifa-19-starter-squad-50000

Cost: Available on PS4 for 50,000 coins, on Xbox it’s over 60,000 coins.

Defense: Fährmann is a familiar face from FIFA 18, as is Roussillon, who could be present in many Bundesliga starter teams with his ratings. Next to the small Nacho stands Tah for heading strength and Carvajal as a defensively strong right-back.

Midfield: With Tolisso and Witsel, you have two robust midfielders here who help defensively, allowing Thiago to take on the more offensive role.

Attack: Ribery may not be fast anymore, but his dribbling, passing, and skills are still outstanding. Gomez has been very popular over the last few years, not least because of his pace and the 4/4 combo. The two-footed Rigoni complements the nimble attack with 4-star skills.

General Tips for Your Starter Squads

Build it yourself! The most fun in Ultimate Team is building your own team. If you’re not creative, you can of course replicate our suggestions 1:1. However, it’s better to let yourself get inspired, swap out some players, or combine different squads. Everyone gets along well with different cards. You can find squad-builder tools at futbin or futhead.

Don’t focus too much on chemistry. Many FUT players – myself included – have the compulsion to get every player to 10 chemistry. However, at the beginning, it’s not too bad if a card only has 7 or 8 chemistry if the overall team is much better.

The Premier League is the most expensive. You might wonder why there are so few Premier League players in the starter squad suggestions. Quite simply: Many players from this league are brutally overpriced in FIFA, as it is the most popular. Following that are the Spanish LaLiga and Italian Serie A. The cheapest top leagues are the Bundesliga and Ligue 1.

Diablo 3 Season 15: Best Classes, Best Builds – Tier List

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 7 minutes

Season 15 in Diablo 3 is starting soon! To help you know which builds are popular, our overview provides the best builds and classes for Season 15 with a tier list.

A new season in Diablo means everything is reset. At the same time, you have the chance to secure a spot in the top positions of the leaderboard with your character, a place reserved for the best players.

There was no balance patch from Season 14 to Season 15. This means that the tier list from Season 14 is largely still relevant in Season 15.

To keep you on track, we show you the strongest builds and classes that give you the best chances in Greater Nephalem Rifts.

What determines the builds and classes tier list?

The tier list we present to you has been created by Diablo 3 expert Rhykker. It is based on data he analyzed from the NA, EU, Asia, PTR, Season, and Non-Season leaderboards. He found some builds and classes that were significantly stronger than others.

Diablo 3 Season 12 Sets

It is important that no combination of class and build in this tier list is “bad”.

This is about comparing which combination can finish higher Greater Nephalem Rifts. There is a difference of 15 Greater Rift levels between “Tier F” and “Tier S”. This does not mean you shouldn’t play builds from the F-tier, but that they are the “worst of the best builds”.

Diablo3 Necro

All these combinations of skills and equipment (builds) can easily reach level 70 in Greater Rift solo, thereby unlocking ancient items that can significantly improve your gear. To avoid this list becoming endlessly long, some builds that might just miss out on F-tier are not listed.

Order:

  • S-Tier: The best solo GR builds – Considered OP builds in Diablo 3 by many
  • A-Tier: Five GR levels behind S-Tier
  • B-Tier: Seven GR levels behind S-Tier
  • C-Tier: Ten GR levels behind S-Tier
  • D-Tier: Twelve GR levels behind S-Tier
  • F-Tier: 15 GR levels behind S-Tier

Note: You will often find the term “LoN” in the tier list. LoN stands for Legacy of Nightmare – This is the English name of the set bonus “Vermächtnis der Alpträume”. This set bonus is available on the rings Das Klagen der Heerschar and Litanei der Unverdrossenen. “As long as this is your only set bonus, every ancient item equipped increases your damage by 100% and reduces your damage taken by 4%.”

Read the Top 3 builds for each class in Season 15 in the following chapters. If you need more inspiration, you’ll find an overview of the remaining builds for all classes at the end of the article.

Top 3 Builds of the Witch Doctor

Arachyr Fire Bat (Tier B) – The Arachyr variant of the Fire Bat build deals significant damage. It is now considered the strongest setup for the Witch Doctor for the new season. Here’s the build on D3Planner.

The 15th season of Diablo 3 is starting today. Many fresh characters will be starting and battling in rankings for the top spots.

When does it start? The 15th season of Diablo 3 starts today, September 21st, at 5:00 PM. Players on PS4 and Xbox One will begin on September 22nd at 02:00 AM CET.

Update: 6:00 PM – The launch of Season 15 has faced some issues. It was supposed to start at 5:00 PM, but it did not go as planned. Players had to wait for an hour until the gates to Season 15 opened at 6:00 PM. Console players might also start at 3:00 AM instead of 2:00 AM.
What happens then? A new season in Diablo 3 means players can create seasonal characters. These start at level 1 and must slash through hordes of monsters to quickly reach the maximum level of 70. There are no experience points, gold, gear, or other help from older characters.

Season 15 – What to Expect?

Which patch is being played? Season 15 continues on patch 2.6.1 – There have been no balance changes or other gameplay adjustments since Season 14.

What’s new then? The new season theme grants you double the amount of Horadric Caches. If you complete five bounties, you will receive two caches instead of just one.

What sets are given for free?

Diablo 3 Haedrig S15

How long does Season 15 last? Typically, seasons in Diablo 3 last about three months. For Season 15, Blizzard has set the end date for December 16, 2018. However, this could still change.

Fortnite says: August was a record month so far, but there are doubts

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Xbox One, iOS, Android, Switch) is said by developer Epic to have celebrated its greatest success in August 2018. However, there are also voices that doubt August as a record month. Is Fortnite on the decline or is it just a matter of perspective?

The numbers from August 2018: In a blog post about the upcoming eSports event Fall Skirmish, Epic mentioned among other things the player numbers from the past month of August. Accordingly, 78.3 million players are said to have played Fortnite.

fortnite-rocker-titel

The numbers refer overall to all six platforms on which Fortnite is currently available: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Switch, iOS, and Android. They also include the slowly growing Fortnite market in China. There, the game is currently being distributed by publisher Tencent in waves of beta invitations.

How are the numbers distributed? Unfortunately, Epic does not say how many players play on which platform.

Nevertheless, the new mobile platforms are likely to make up a significant part: the Switch version was downloaded more than 2 million times within 24 hours.

With these record numbers, Fortnite, according to Epic, has reached its current peak. However, there may be doubts about how this is evaluated.

Twitch numbers drop, is Fortnite in decline?

fortnite-flucht-titel-03

What does Twitch say? If we look at the numbers on Twitch, where Fortnite is presented via famous streamers like Ninja, the situation looks less rosy. As we reported, the watching minutes have dropped from 8.88 to 7.7 billion. Still incredibly high, but no longer a record.

This represents a decline of 13 percent. To clarify: 7.7 billion minutes corresponds to 2.5 million episodes of the series “Orange is the New Black”.

Fortnite-Highstakes

According to Twitch statistics, August was by no means the best month. Instead, the peak of viewing minutes is said to have been reached back in July and has declined since then.

Can both sources be right? Of course, these two statements do not have to contradict each other. It is quite possible that Fortnite was played a lot in August, but less often streamed.

This could be primarily due to the popular Battle Royale beta of Black Ops 4, which for many fans is the future of the genre.

Fortnite needs to change

Fortnite-Böse-Farbbomberin

Fortnite still at the top: Of course, with 78 million players and 7.7 billion minutes on Twitch, you can live well and still be the undisputed leader in the world market. However, Epic should not rest too much on the laurels of the past months.

Serious competition is coming: The competition in its current form from Black Ops 4 is already nibbling at Fortnite’s throne, and Epic should come up with something better for the new 6th season than it did in season 5. This has generally been perceived by many players as unremarkable. Early signs of fatigue are becoming evident.

New ideas are needed: Perhaps it’s time for a new map, even crazier characters with interchangeable hats and more new game modes, such as the heist or the Thanos crossover.

Pokémon GO: Data miner finds new Pokémon of the 8th generation

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Data miner Chrales has made interesting discoveries in the code of Pokémon GO. A Pokémon with ID 891!

Regularly, data miner Chrales checks the network traffic of Pokémon GO. He pays attention to what changes sneak into the game and shares this with the community. His latest find is confusing. It involves a Pokémon with ID 891. And it looks like Ditto with a hex nut. A leak for a brand new Pokémon?

Looked like Kecleon at first, but

Actually, Chrales initially assumed that Niantic had implemented new icons for the Pokémon Kecleon. But visually, it is immediately clear that these found assets do not even remotely resemble Kecleon.

What does the monster look like? The upper part resembles a typical nut one would screw onto bolts. Inside, there is a kind of ball or maybe an eye? However, the lower part suggests a Ditto. This seems to be a placeholder. The screw might indicate that they are still working on this monster.

Pokémon GO Unknown monster

Why 2 forms? It appears that this find is represented in both normal and shiny forms in the code.

What else did the data miner find? In the data, these models are probably called ID 891. If he integrates these into Pokémon GO, the game will call it Kecleon. That’s why Chrales first thought that these were Kecleon data, but now believes that it is a brand new Pokémon.

What kind of Pokémon is this?

If you have seen the trailer for Pokémon Let’s GO, you might remember a key scene at the end of the video. It involves a “special Pokémon.”

In this regard, the official Pokémon account has already stated that it is a Pokémon that has never been seen before.

The speculation: Trainers now believe that this new Pokémon found in the code of Pokémon GO is the special Pokémon mentioned in the trailer.

Why Gen 8? The Pokédex in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (Generation 7) ends with the entry of Zeraora – which is Pokédex number 807. The new Pokémon has ID 891, so 84 entries above the known maximum. Enough space for Generation 8.

Additionally, the fact that only one new Pokémon would be available in Let’s GO that can also migrate to Pokémon GO.

Pokémon Let's Go - Evoli

Trainers now believe that the unnamed Pokémon shown is a leak for the special monster from Let’s GO that can also migrate to Pokémon GO. However, you should take this with caution. Until Niantic or the Pokémon team officially announces it, this is just speculation. What are your thoughts on this rumor?

Update: Crazy! Now this new monster is suddenly spawning everywhere

In Pokémon GO you can soon share EX Raid invitations – why that is so important

SCUM hat 1 Million Spieler, schenkt Spielern goldene Kanone, aber eklig

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The survival game SCUM is exceptionally popular and has found many buyers on Steam. To celebrate the current milestone in sales, the developers are gifting all players a special golden gun as a reward. However, you will only receive it in a disgusting way.

What is SCUM? SCUM is a survival game where you play as a prison inmate. However, your prison is an island full of anarchy, where you search for items and kill each other to survive. Besides this brutal action, the game is geared towards realism.

Your character needs to eat and drink, becomes overweight if consuming unhealthy food, and has to use the toilet regularly.

Brutal survival very popular: SCUM has sold exceptionally well on Steam. More than one million copies have already been sold. The developers want to celebrate this now.

Golden Desert Eagle in the “Prison Wallet”

What is the reward for the sales success? As a thank you for the many sales, the developers are gifting all players a golden Desert Eagle, caliber 50. This massive handgun looks stylish and is absolutely deadly.

How do I get my golden gun? Well, it’s going to get disgusting now. Because items like the golden gun are smuggled into the game via your “prison wallet.” Anyone who has seen the movie Deadpool 2 knows what that term means.

For those who don’t know: To get the gun, your character first needs to crouch on the toilet and relieve itself properly. Then you can fish the coveted golden gun out of the toilet bowl and start killing.

Watch as a gift

SCUM watch

Are there more gifts? Those who purchased a supporter pack of SCUM will receive another gift: a watch.

What can the watch do? Show the time, what else? However, the developers plan to give the item more features in the future.

A patch was also deployed on the servers: In addition to the goodies, the developers also rolled out a patch on the SCUM servers. This fixes bugs, adjusts balancing, and hides a silver version of the Desert Eagle in the game.
