Destiny 2: Pikass – How to get Cayde’s exotic hand cannon

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

Shortly after the release of the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2, it became known how to obtain the exotic hand cannon Cayde-6’s Ace of Spades. You must go through everything to get the Ace of Spades.

The personal hand cannon of the fallen Hunter Vanguard leader Cayde-6 is one of the many new firearms introduced in the Forsaken expansion. However, besides taking revenge on Cayde’s murderer Uldren, Guardians have a lot to do if they want to obtain the Ace of Spades.

Warning: Possible story spoilers ahead. Read on at your own risk!

Pikass in Destiny 2: Forsaken – Here’s how you need to work for the weapon

To obtain the Pikass, you need to complete a multi-part questline that starts after finishing the Forsaken story. Guardians receive the quest from the Gunsmith Banshe-44 when they speak to him after bringing Cayde to the Tower following his death. Banshe will have a corresponding quest symbol above his head – he is hard to miss.

Step 1 – Get the Pikass from Uldren

First, Guardians must take revenge on Uldren Sov and the eight Barons for Cayde-6’s death. This step is a prerequisite for obtaining the Pikass. As part of the Forsaken campaign, Guardians must defeat Uldren Sov and retrieve the Pikass from him.

Step 2 – Bring the Pikass to the Gunsmith

Destiny 2 forsaken cayde last stand

Once you have retrieved the weapon from Uldren, it will be damaged. You must take it to Banshe-44 to repair it. He will need some biorhythmic data to complete the repairs.

Step 3 – Gambit Kills

Now, you need to achieve five PvP kills with any hand cannon in Gambit. Since Update 2.0.3.1, it no longer matters whether you eliminate invaders or get the kills yourself as an intruder in the enemy territory. All kills of human opponents count.

Step 4 – Strike Kills

In this step, you must eliminate 250 enemies using any hand cannon in Strikes.

Step 5 – Crucible Kills

destiny 2 cayde 6

In PvP, you need to achieve 25 precision kills with any hand cannon.

Step 6 – Find Cayde’s Chests

There are a total of four chests scattered across the Solar System. You will need to find all four to obtain new parts for the Ace of Spades. The chests are located in the EDZ on Earth, on IO, on Nessus, and in the Tangled Shore.

By the way: Once you are near the chests, you will be notified of this with a message on the left side of the screen.

Locations of Cayde’s Chests: You can find the exact locations in the video by Nexxoss Gaming that we will embed here:

Step 7 – Titan Mission “Ace in the Hole”

Now you will need to complete the mission “Ace in the Hole” on Titan. The recommended power level is 460. There, you need to collect 10 personal chests from Cayde-6. After the mission ends, you will have all the necessary parts to restore the Pikass.

Step 8 – Bring the parts to the Gunsmith

Now return to Banshe-44 with all the required weapon parts. In exchange, you will receive the ready-to-use exotic hand cannon from Cayde-6.

WoW: Unfair! Bug causes some players to get super loot

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A bug causes some players in World of Warcraft to have items with item level 415. We reveal what went wrong.

Blizzard apparently had different expectations. A bug in World of Warcraft caused numerous players to receive items ranging from item level 380 to 415 this week – and that without doing anything.

WoW DDOS Heiler Limit Orc Shaman Laughing matrix title

What happened? Anyone who completed a “Mythic+” dungeon in “Legion” last week could open a reward chest on American servers yesterday. However, the reward inside was based on the last “Mythic+” dungeon completed in Legion! So, if someone completed a “Mythic +15” dungeon, they received a reward as if they had completed such a dungeon in Battle for Azeroth.

What is the consequence? As a result, many players on the US servers have now received items with item levels between 360 and 415. This includes weapons, which leads to a massive boost in performance. Players received rewards that they normally could not earn.

Bug Itemlevel 400 BfA
Items like these were available to many American players – unjustly.
WoW GM Angry players title

Fans demand rollback: Many players are currently demanding that Blizzard should implement a “rollback”, meaning the weapons and equipment should be removed retroactively. It would be completely unfair if players now carried weapons with item level 400+. The race for first kills and also the PvP of Battle for Azeroth would be ruined for weeks or months. Blizzard reacts quickly: The developers reacted promptly to the bug and have already deactivated the chest after just a few hours. So, those who weren’t fast enough won’t receive this reward anymore. Meanwhile, more and more players are receiving a letter stating that they accidentally received incorrect loot. The loot will be taken away from these players.

For Europe, this bug comes too late. Here, the faulty reward chest has already been deactivated.

What do you think about this issue? Is it right for Blizzard to take the items away from all players? Or how would you solve the problem?

Fortnite: High Stakes event and update 5.40 postponed

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 2 minutes

Actually, the new update 5.40 for Fortnite was supposed to be available today, Wednesday. However, this and the new High Stakes event will unfortunately not happen. Epic is postponing the update, which also affects the weekly challenges of week 9.

Epic is struggling with bugs: As the Fortnite developer recently announced, the update 5.40 is being postponed due to a critical issue identified with controllers. Which controllers are affected and what the issues look like in detail is currently unknown.

What does this mean for update 5.40? The update will not be rolled out until Thursday, September 6th. The postponement of the update also coincides with the High Stakes event, which will also be unlocked on Thursday.

The weekly challenges are also being postponed: Since the schedule has now been pushed back by one day overall, the weekly challenges for week 9 will also be moved back by one day to Friday, September 7th.

So, anyone who wanted to know which reward awaits in the final ninth week for the Road Trip skin will have to wait one more day.

Epic is also working on issues with the Nintendo Switch version: As the developer stated through its in-house bug tool, they are currently working with Nintendo to fix performance issues on the Nintendo Switch.

Specifically, landing in Tilted Towers is turning into pure luck on Nintendo’s console. Textures are not loading, leaving you helpless against enemies. Epic plans to deliver a corresponding update with version 5.40.

What do you think about this? Are you looking forward to the new High Stakes mode?

Battlefield 5 Trailer: Battle Royale “Firestorm” accommodates 64 players

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

A new trailer for Battlefield 5 provides insights into gameplay, the various locations, and the battle royale mode “Firestorm”.

In the new Battlefield 5 trailer, there is a lot of information about the upcoming game modes. You can learn more about the locations, and there are also new details about the Last-Man-Standing mode.

What do we know about Firestorm?

The BR mode in Battlefield V is called Firestorm. The name comes from the fact that a wall of fire shrinks the playable area.

Not the usual 100 players: DICE has set Firestorm apart from the “typical” 100-player battle royale. The mode is apparently only for 4-player squads. In total, there is space for 64 players, meaning 16 teams.

von Patrick Freese

Vehicles are also included: It is now clear that there will also be vehicles in the Firestorm mode. Whether these are already on the map from the beginning or spawn during a match is still unclear. The trailer shows tanks driving across the Firestorm map.

Destroying buildings: With the heavy tanks, you can destroy some buildings scattered across the map. This could be an interesting method against campers who hide in or behind buildings.

BF 5 Tank Building

The largest Battlefield map: In the video, it is once again mentioned that the Firestorm spectacle will be played on the largest map ever seen in a Battlefield game.

Weapons on the map: On the map, there are supposed to be destructible buildings, weapons, and vehicles. Whether these weapons are scattered across the map as is common in BR games is unclear. You could also start with some basic equipment and find special weapons on the map that you have to fight over. Similar to a supply drop in PUBG or Fortnite.

More multiplayer modes: The rest of the trailer discusses the various additional game modes. 8 multiplayer modes are supposed to be available at launch.

If you are excited about Battlefield 5, you can already start the preload for the open beta:

Destiny 2: Weekly reset for the Forsaken launch – Here’s what you need to do

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 today, on September 4th, the Weekly Reset marks the start of Forsaken and Year 2. You can learn about which activities, like the Nightfall strike or the Flashpoint, are live at the Forsaken launch here.

The first week of Forsaken: Our reporting on the weekly activities in Destiny 2 is a bit different today than usual. Today is a special day: The Forsaken era begins – coinciding with the Weekly Reset. Together with countless other Guardians, we are diving into the action right from the start and reporting on what you need to do now.

Most of you will dive straight into the campaign and begin the Forsaken adventure with Cayde-6. If you can’t play yourself today, you have these two options:

Nightfall Strikes starting September 4th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC

Since update 2.0.0, you can choose between three Nightfall strikes weekly. This week there are:

  • Warden of Nothing – New strike centered around the Drifter, the Gambit lead
  • A Garden World
  • The Arms Dealer
destiny-2-garden-world

The recommended power level is 540. Modifiers are only available through the Challenge Card. Gear is locked during the activity.

Strikes and Story Missions

In the heroic story missions, there are the modifiers Voidburn, Earthed (you take more damage while in the air), and Heavyweight (power weapons deal more damage). Recommended power is 280 or 310 for certain missions.

In the Vanguard Strikes, the same modifiers are active. You can choose the difficulties

  • Level 30 – 300 Power
  • Level 40 – 400 Power
  • Level 50 – 500 Power

to select.

Crucible

In the Crucible, there are:

  • Quick Play
  • Competitive
  • Rumble
  • Doubles
  • Private Match
  • Gambit can also be launched directly.

In Quick Play, Competitive, Rumble, and Doubles, there are Weekly Challenges (by completing 5 matches).

Escalation Protocol

Destiny 2 IKELOS Sniper

If the rotation is maintained, you will have the chance on the final boss of the Escalation Protocol this week to receive:

Flashpoint, Raid Challenge, Treasure Maps, Meditations

Cayde-6 is no longer in the Tower, as already mentioned last week. The Flashpoint takes place from today in the EDZ with Devrim Kay.

In the Tower Bazaar, there is now the Gambit lead, the Drifter. He has four bounties for you, so grab them. In the bounties, you need to complete a Gambit match, defeat enemies, and summon blockers.

Ikora Rey doesn’t have anything for you.

Hawthorne has three bounties for you.

In the Prestige Raid, Gladiator (melee kills boost weapon damage and weapon kills boost melee) is active. In the kinetic slot, you need a shotgun, for energy weapon an auto rifle, and for power weapon a rocket launcher.

The raid challenge is in the Last Wish.

Eververse Highlights

Tess Everis sells shimmer engrams called “Steadfast Engram”, the contents of which can be inspected. There you can see exotic emotes, sparrows, ships, weapon ornaments, and much more.

Some items you can buy directly from her by switching to page 2, such as an “Accidental Dance”, a sparrow, a ship, a ghost shell, a shader, a leg armor, and a weapon ornament for the Colony. Those are the Forsaken items she offers directly. The rest were available before.

destiny-forsaken-gambit-titan-bow

Additionally, Tess has lots of bounties on offer that yield prism shards and shimmering dust.

How our Weekly Reset article will look in the future will crystallize over the coming days and weeks. After all, much is changing in Year 2. In addition to the continuing weekly rotating activities like the raid and raid activities, other milestones, like Flashpoints, will be switched to a four-day cycle.

The previous milestones are now called “Challenges” and will no longer be listed in a milestone list but shown in the navigator alongside the corresponding activity. What’s changing in the weekly activities we have summarized here:

Extrem Behemoth is only available for a short time in Monster Hunter World

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 2 minutes

The Extreme Behemoth will soon disappear again from Monster Hunter World. The monster was only available during an event on PS4 and Xbox One. The PC has a different event rotation.

How long will Extreme Behemoth be around? Until Friday, September 7th, at 2:00 AM. The Extreme Behemoth will then disappear on the night from Thursday to Friday. It is part of the quest “A Visitor from Eorzea (Extreme)”, which is part of the event rotation. The “normal” Behemoth, on the other hand, is permanently in the game.

You must be at least Hunter Rank 50 to be able to take on the Extreme Behemoth quest.

When will Extreme Behemoth return? This is still unknown. Other event monsters like Kulve Taroth make appearances at regular intervals.

When will Extreme Behemoth come to PC? This is also still unknown. No announcement has been made yet for the DLC monsters. On PC, there are other events and you can obtain a Wobble Worm Helmet.

Monster-Hunter-World-Behemoth1

Extreme Behemoth is a hardened monster

The Extreme Behemoth is considered one of the toughest boss opponents in the entire game. This is mainly due to the new mechanics it introduces: spells and aggro. Here you will need to fight the Behemoth like in an MMORPG.

Extreme Behemoth drives players to despair: As a hardened monster, the Extreme Behemoth uses its spells more frequently. These include tornadoes, lightning, and meteors raining down from the sky. Lightning capsules lose effectiveness against him. You are forced to have a tank present to draw the beast’s aggro (attention).

Thus, a special relationship has developed between fans and Extreme Behemoth:

von Leya Jankowski

Decorative armor as a reward: The challenge alone is already something special for many. However, those who manage to take down the beast will be rewarded with decorative armor. The Dragoon set is inspired by the Dragooners from Final Fantasy (XIV), where the Behemoth also originates from.

Anyone wanting to grab the Dragoon decorative armor still has time until September 7th.

Monster-Hunter-World-Dragoon-Rüstung

Which events are coming next to PS4 and Xbox?

As soon as the Extreme Behemoth is gone, a new event rotation will begin on the consoles. The new rotation will run from September 7th to September 14th.

These will be the new event quests:

  • The Voracious Greet (JR 6): Here you can win vouchers
  • Wild Tower Bolero (JR 13): Increased chance of Gold crowns for Kulu-Ya-Ku, Barroth, Rathian, Diablos
  • The Eye of the Storm (JR 50): Kill a battle-hardened Kushala Daora for the Kushala-γ armor set and the Guild Cross decorative armor

There will likely be an enormous rush on the servers at launch, which may lead to queues and various error codes. So don’t expect everything to run smoothly exactly at 7 PM.

We at MeinMMO will accompany the launch and continuously update this article should there be an outbreak of error code beasts or a server collapse.

Live ticker:

Update 6:20 PM: If you want to quickly catch up on the most important information about Forsaken before the launch, you can read our article with the 6 most important things about Forsaken.

Queues possible: Bungie has announced that you might find yourself in queues when trying to log in. A lot of traffic is expected on the servers.

Update 6:25 PM: The servers are still offline. If you try to log in, you get the message “Destiny 2 servers are currently unavailable.”.

Update 6:34 PM: The patch notes for the day one update are still not available. Sven is anxiously fidgeting in his chair. As soon as the information is here, he will deliver the article to you immediately.

Update 6:46 PM: Servers are still down. Let’s see if it starts right at 7 PM. DeeJ just tweeted that Bungie will be watching closely and responding accordingly at launch.

Update 6:57 PM: The servers seem to be reachable already. There’s a message that Destiny 2 is currently at capacity. However, the server down message is no longer appearing. I am in the queue on PS4, Nexxoss is on PC as well.

Update 7 PM: According to Bungie, the servers are online. Get ready for queues! I was already able to leave the queue, but it now says “Contacting servers” indefinitely.

Okay, I’m in. Nexxoss too. Let’s wait and see if it continues to run smoothly. The message that servers are being contacted is constantly displayed. Many players are reporting that it’s lagging quite a bit. But the servers are still holding.

At the beginning, there will be many prompts showing what’s new. On the right side in the navigator, the Tangled Shore is available as a new location. Here you start the new Destiny adventure. Recommended Power is 330.

No more spoilers are available in this article. Following this is our Weekly Reset article, which is now live. Have fun in Forsaken, Guardians!

WoW Survey: Do you use War Mode in Battle for Azeroth?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The War Mode in World of Warcraft attracts many players to PvP. But what about our readers? We want to find out in this survey.

With Patch 8.0 and specifically the release of WoW: Battle for Azeroth, many players utilize the War Mode. But how many players really are there? Who enjoys the thrill of PvP surprises and who prefers to avoid this danger?

More on the topic
The war mode in WoW replaces the PvP servers – and that’s a good thing!
von Cortyn

What is the War Mode? You can activate the War Mode in Orgrimmar (Horde) or Stormwind (Alliance). This way, players only see other players in War Mode and are marked for PvP.

WoW Nightborne PvP title

Here, there are not only 10% more rewards in the form of gold or artifact power from world quests, but also 10% more experience during the leveling phase. Additionally, there are regular air drops with bonus loot and the PvP talents are permanently active.

For many inexperienced PvP players, this is enough incentive to play in War Mode.

War or Peace – Who uses the War Mode?

But what about our community? Do we have many readers who regularly dive into PvP, or do you prefer to enjoy the calm in PvE mode? Is PvP an optional affair for you that you only want in battlegrounds? Or is the constant allure of an attack something that enhances your gaming experience?

If you can’t see the survey, please check if you have an ad blocker enabled. It would also be nice if you could disable it on our site.

 

If you want to elaborate on your experiences with the War Mode in World of Warcraft, feel free to do so in the comments. Perhaps some amusing stories will come together.

Cortyn says: I have had the War Mode activated since Battle for Azeroth and have a lot of fun with it, but that often depends on my artifact fishing rod.

Of course, it is annoying to be taken down by a full group of enemies – but the frustration is manageable. One just has to keep in mind that it was a free choice and deactivating the mode is only a hearthstone away.

New Free2Play MMO in the Lord of the Rings universe announced

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Leyou Technologies is a Chinese corporation that holds large shares in the Warframe developer Digital Extremes, among other interests. In a “Voluntary Business Announcement”, the company has now announced that it wants to establish a new publishing brand called “Athlon”, and a Lord of the Rings MMO will be the first work.

MMO in the Lord of the Rings universe: According to Leyou’s announcement, Athlon Games intends to develop a Free2Play MMO as its first work. For this purpose, they have entered into a collaboration with Middle-Earth Enterprises, the rights holders to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and therefore to the entire Lord of the Rings franchise.

What we already know about the new Lord of the Rings game

Unfortunately, not much is yet known about the new Lord of the Rings MMO. However, the following information has emerged from the announcement by Leyou and the Athlon Games website:

hdr-02

What kind of game is it supposed to be? Athlon clearly stated that it specializes in Free2Play AAA titles for PC and consoles. So it probably won’t be a browser or mobile game.

Will the game have anything to do with Lord of the Rings Online? Nothing is known about that. However, the announcement did not mention any collaboration with the developers of Lord of the Rings Online.

What will the game be about? According to the announcement by Leyou and Athlon, the new Lord of the Rings game is set to play before the events of the books and films. Thus, you will work towards the epic occurrences later on. You will not be reenacting the plot of Tolkien’s works.

lord of the rings ring

Player skepticism due to Free2Play and Chinese corporation

Many players are excited about the news of a new game from the world of the Lord of the Rings. However, some gamers are skeptical. On the MMORPG.com site, many critical voices can be heard, expressing doubts about the success of the new project.

These players find the focus of Athlon on Free2Play games problematic and are also concerned about the involvement of a Chinese conglomerate. On the other hand, Leyou is also associated with successful games like Warframe, which is widely regarded as a model example of fair Free2Play.

Fortnite: No new update today – Patch date now announced

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite will receive the update 5.4 this week with the new game mode “Getaway” and other goodies. However, today, on the classic patch day, the servers have remained quiet so far. When will the highly anticipated update arrive?

Where is the patch? New Fortnite updates usually appear on Tuesday of each week. But unfortunately it seems that nothing will happen today, September 4th. Experience shows that Epic would have long ago posted relevant news on Twitter or Reddit if the patch were indeed coming today.

Update 5.4 and patch notes are taking their time

When will the new update finally come? Patch 5.4 will be quite a large update. So it’s somewhat understandable that Epic prefers to take a bit more time. This has often been the case in the past, which is why important updates have sometimes come later in the week.

Fortnite-Highstakes

Patch on Wednesday or Thursday? Usually, updates then come throughout Wednesday. However, there have been instances where a patch did not arrive until Thursday. That would be quite late and would clash with the new challenges of week 9. Therefore, Wednesday is more likely as the patch day.

Update: Epic recently posted a short video of the High-Stakes event on Twitter. According to this, it should be released tomorrow, Wednesday, September 5, 2018. Patch 5.4 should also go live then.

https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1036977357339406336

What’s in update 5.4

The wait should definitely be worth it. Because update 5.4 brings, among other things, a slew of features that have never been in the game before:

  • New game mode “Getaway”: In this new mode, you need to find, crack a safe, and retrieve a llama sculpture as a team of four. You then need to defend it against all other players and carry it safely to a getaway vehicle.
  • New weapon “Grappler”: This grapple gun allows you to zip across the map quickly. Strongholds can also be easily taken this way.
  • New storm behavior in the final phase: Previously, the storm left your buildings alone. This will change with 5.4, as the final storm zone at the edge will also devastate buildings. This should lead to more action in the endgame.
  • Challenges for new outfits: For the event, there will be special gangster outfits in the shop. You can upgrade these with your own Wildcard challenges.

Additionally, there should be plenty of bug fixes and minor updates.

Most of you will start with this class in Destiny 2 Forsaken

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, we wanted to know which class you will start with in the Forsaken expansion. And the Mein-MMO community has responded eagerly.

When the Destiny journey continues this evening, on September 4 at around 7 PM in Forsaken, most of you already know which Guardian class you will begin with. Because that’s exactly what we asked you in our Mein-MMO survey last weekend – and thousands of you voted on which class you would choose!

The result of the survey: In the past few days, over 4300 readers participated in the class survey for Forsaken. The result is clear:

destiny-2-umfrage-hüter-forsaken
Yes, I voted for Titan
  • With a large majority of 42%, most of you will embark as Hunters on a quest for revenge against Cayde-6’s murderers
  • 29% of you will start as Titans
  • 29% will demand justice as Warlocks

So, Hunters are the clear winners. Titans and Warlocks share second place.

How did the result come about?

Differences from the Destiny 2 launch: Already a year ago, at the Destiny 2 release in September 2017, we asked you this question, about which Guardian class you will tackle the new adventures. Back then, the result was not as clear. Although Hunters also won with 35%, Warlocks (33%) and Titans (32%) were close behind.

Why is the Hunter faction so strong? Hunters have always been popular choices, but now at the Forsaken launch, the dominance is remarkable. This may be due to the new Supers, for which we also conducted a survey.

Back then, the new path Spectral Blades of the Void Hunter was voted the coolest new Super with an overwhelming majority. In this Super, the Hunter cloaks themselves in a veil of shadows, only to reappear behind enemies and finish them off with Void Daggers.

destiny-2-hüter

Now many Guardians are probably curious and want to try out this Super with their Hunters themselves. You can find all the new Supers from Forsaken here.

What do our readers say about the class choice for Forsaken?

Here are some reader opinions from the comments of the survey:

  • Skæthir wrote the first comment. He is “really curious” about the survey results because he feels there is an overpopulation of Hunters. He was right – and is starting with a Hunter himself
  • huhu_2345 starts “as always” with the Titan. Only after that may Hunters and Warlocks take their turn. I, Tom, do it this way too
  • André Wettinger emphasizes that a true hero remains loyal to his line – and for that reason, he will take his Titan Striker
  • ratpaak takes his Hunter, whom he already created on September 9, 2014. Only after that, Titan and Warlock will be up
  • KingK writes: “Titan is always my main and I will obviously start Forsaken with him. You know this ¯_(ツ)_/¯”
  • The hocitR will play the Hunter as always. He looks forward to the new Void Bladedancer (Spectral Blades Super).
    destiny-2-hüter
  • Majonatto Coco and BigFlash88 are still unsure. While Majonatto Coco will figure it out with “Rock, Paper, Scissors”, BigFlash88 is torn between Titan and Warlock – leaning towards Titan
  • Also WuWuuHuu is “totally undecided”. In the end, he will decide “again for the Hunter. And the Warlock… and of course the Titan ^^”
  • Scofield, Sleeping-Ex, and Andreas Straub do it like many others and start with their main to then level the other classes when content gets slim
  • Psycheater will definitely take the “Kung-Fu Titan. As always. Titan FTW” – provided he gets Forsaken
  • cabbes, Bert, Marcus Gießler, Fly, Patrick r, kotstulle7, Darius Wucher, and Freundeslisre Vong Grammatik h are among the few who confess to the Warlock in the comments
  • Sven Kälber (Stereopushing) summarizes the topic well: “It’s always such a matter of faith.” For him, the Hunter always comes first, but he will play all three classes

Thank you for the numerous comments. And do not be disheartened if you are not mentioned in the article here. In the next article of this kind, you will surely be included if you continue to comment diligently.

You take on the role of a Guardian – a hero equipped with various weapons and special abilities. Your task is to avert all dangers from humanity and the last city on Earth in a fictional future setting.

This is what makes Destiny 2 special:

  • Play solo, fight cooperatively with up to 6 friends in PvE, or prove yourself in PvP
  • Play story missions, strikes (3-player PvE activities), raids (6-player PvE activities), various PvP modes, and tasks in the open worlds
  • Experience diverse, persistent worlds
  • Acquire numerous weapons, armor pieces, and cosmetic items
  • Continuously improve your Guardian, collect new loot, and level up in the progression system
  • Destiny 2 is played as a first-person shooter; in certain situations, you switch to third-person. The gunplay is praised by the community.

  • Destiny 2 is constantly evolving. The major Forsaken expansion launches on September 4, 2018, bringing various new features and a year 2 full of content.

You have the opportunity to take down tough PvE opponents in various group activities or prove yourself in PvP as a lone wolf.

Moreover, Destiny 2 has significantly improved in the last few months after initial criticism. Especially in the second year, much community feedback is being implemented. The game is evolving more and more into a full-fledged hobby and aims to impress in the long run.

WoW: The Horde conquers Boralus, but the Alliance launches an airstrike

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

After the Alliance was driven out of Boralus, they are planning a counterattack by airstrike. A funny story from the war mode of World of Warcraft.

In the war mode of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, PvP is the order of the day. There are frequently small skirmishes during world quests or entire raid groups colliding in the cities. This also recently happened in the war mode in the city of Boralus. The Horde had gathered and captured the outskirts of the city with a raid. But the Alliance rallied for a counterattack.

Why could all players glide? The entire raid was equipped with Goblin Gliders that engineers can create. These provide a solid substitute until flying in Kul Tiras and Zandalar is possible. With the gliders, large distances can be covered, as long as a high launch point is found.

Horde caught off guard: The previously confident Horde was visibly taken by surprise and was overwhelmed by the rain of Alliance members. Just under 60 seconds later, no Horde player remained in Boralus, and the Alliance could celebrate their successful airstrike.

Cooler without flying mounts: Some players also say that actions like these are only so cool because flying in Kul Tiras and Boralus is not yet possible. Otherwise, attackers and defenders could simply fly into or out of the city, which would have made the whole action only half as interesting.

WoW Nightborne PvP title

The war mode is already ensuring that players have many great memories of their PvP experiences and that there are numerous situations to look back on even in a few years.

What was your funniest action that you have experienced in the war mode of World of Warcraft?

Fortnite: Bug causes chaos in the final round of $1.5 million tournament

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Android, Switch & Xbox One), the purple cube has caused utter chaos. During the final round of the Summer Skirmish tournament at PAX West, gravity was almost completely nullified.

The last round of the Summer Skirmish: Another round of the Summer Skirmish was held at PAX West. Epic Games’ first official tournament has a large prize pool.

Overall, the prizes totaled 8 million US dollars. Of that, 1.5 million was reserved for the winners of the final games during PAX West.

It was about a lot of money, and all the players were highly focused on the game. But then a bug struck and caused a tremendous chaos!

Final Zone lands in Anti-Gravity Field

The final showdown in Round 4: The 4th round of the Summer Skirmish had been running for some time, and nearly two dozen players were seeking refuge in the ever-shrinking safe zone from the deadly storm.

Interestingly, the safe zone was located in one of the anti-gravity zones that the mysterious purple cube has been distributing across the map for some time.

Gravity ruins final game phase: At first, no one probably thought much of it. Perhaps one or two players even welcomed the altered game conditions where everyone can jump much higher and further.

But soon, utter chaos reigned because gravity in the zone was not reduced but completely nullified. As a result, many players soon flew helplessly through the air. Some landed in the storm and immediately burned up.

Some players floated helplessly around and were shot down by less affected opponents. All the sophisticated endgame tactics were rendered useless.

The player who ended up winning was the one who had a bit of luck and kept their nerve.

Many players would have found that quite foolish since, after all, it was a significant amount of money at stake in the tournament.

Epic takes action against bug: Epic soon confirmed that the crazy gravity was indeed just a bug. It was likely triggered by too many players being in the anti-gravity zone.

To prevent that from happening again, the gravity fields were disabled in later games. Additionally, there was another match as compensation.

In this overview, we show you the most important information you should know about the Stardust event in Pokémon GO. You can expect a dust overview and general tips here.

Event is active: Since the evening of September 3rd, the Stardust event has been running in Pokémon GO. Players have unlocked this by completing the global challenges.

Here we want to show you how much dust the various actions in the game bring and which are particularly worthwhile.

Stardust List – How much does what bring?

In the following overview, you can see how much Stardust you currently earn in Pokémon GO when you catch Pokémon, hatch eggs, or complete raids.

General Tips for the Stardust Event

The Stardust event is something special. It offers you the chance to quickly fill up your dust supply through everyday actions in the game. Timing is therefore particularly important.

von Patrick Freese

Plan your sessions: To get the most out of the event, you should always have a Star Piece active during your gaming sessions. Since these now last for an hour, you should choose time windows for playing in which you can fully take advantage of that hour.

Second and third evolution levels: These are particularly valuable and bring you a lot of dust with a Star Piece and weather bonus.

Take the free raids: Currently, you receive 3000 Stardust guaranteed from a raid. Every day, you can get a free raid pass by spinning gyms. So, you should definitely use that to collect the 3000 Stardust (4500 with Star Piece).

Hatching eggs: Hatching eggs does not supply you as efficiently with Stardust as raiding does. However, the eggs are worthwhile if you prefer to walk rather than raid. Especially the 10 KM eggs in super incubators are worth the effort. Hatching the 7 KM eggs is not as worthwhile, as you get the same dust amount from the 5 KM eggs.

GO Plus could be worth it: In this Stardust event, you want to perform as many actions as possible that reward you with more Stardust. The Pokémon GO Plus, which helps you catch the monsters, could therefore be a welcome relief for your adventures.

Use the Star Piece before the X-Day bonus: Remember to activate the Star Piece directly at the start of a session. You get more dust for the daily bonus. The 7-day catch bonus currently gives 13950 Stardust.

Rend gives players overpowered items, but only one can have them

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 4 minutes

The new survival MMO Rend (PC) is still in Early Access. At Gamescom 2018, the developers at Frostkeep revealed to us that there will soon be new content. This includes special artifact items that are overpowered and exist only once per server.

New content for Rend: At Gamescom, the developers at Frostkeep introduced new content that will soon make its way to Rend. Particularly in the spotlight were new artifact items that are intended to be OP.

Additionally, dynamic seasons will be introduced in the area of the World Tree. A new creature, the Frost Giant, will be added to the game, and in the new dark mines of the dwarves, players will encounter creepy monsters.

New artifact items exist only once per server

Artifact items are OP and unique: As a new feature, Rend is getting artifact items. Each of these items possesses overpowering powers and exists only once per server. Therefore, only one player on the server can be the owner of an artifact item. This could be Thor’s Hammer or Loki’s Scepter, but also a water bottle that never runs out.

New dynamics in PvP: Rend is a PvP game, and when someone kills another player, they can also take their items. Players with this special equipment are expected by the developers to become mini-raid bosses.

Players with artifact items become popular targets because this equipment becomes extremely powerful. However, those who possess an overpowered armor or weapon are also correspondingly hard to defeat.

New artifact armor sets

The idea is for groups of players to come together and try to take down this one overpowering player. The developers want to create an interesting PvP dynamic this way and believe that introducing these OP items is just fine.

Artifact items are found in rare chests: There will be various ways to obtain the special and rare equipment.

  • Chests from the sky: Artifact items will fall from the sky in treasure chests. The chest will be made visible on the world map. Like an event. Players will then have 30 minutes to compete for the artifacts and emerge as the shining owner and winner.
  • Mini-dungeons: There will be small dungeons where mini-bosses have a chance to drop a chest as loot. Sometimes, artifact items can also be found inside.

The World Tree Yggdrasil is located in the center of the map and is the Tree of Life.

Changing seasons at the World Tree Yggdrasil

A new season every 72 hours: In the center of the map stands a huge tree glowing golden, representing the World Tree Yggdrasil. Every 72 hours, the season around the Tree of Life changes. The 72 hours are “real” hours and not in-game hours.

Seasons have different challenges: Each season will feature different challenges. For example, there will be different creatures in winter than in autumn, summer, or spring. Likewise, there will also be different resources. Rend is a survival game where the environment also impacts the character. In winter, players will need to wear warmer armor to protect themselves from the cold.

New realm Nidavellir: Map expanded with dwarf mines

Dwarf mines are pitch dark: In Norse mythology, dwarves created the armors and weapons for gods. Therefore, it was logical for the developers to convert the dwarf realm into a mine. It is always dark in the mines, and hence eerie creatures have adapted to the darkness.

Entering the mines requires a group: To enter the mines, multiple players are needed. This is because one needs a torch and weapons to navigate through the mines. A solo player cannot hold both a weapon and a torch at the same time. Therefore, there always needs to be a designated torchbearer.

Can the mines still be explored solo? No, it really requires a torchbearer and several fighters for the mines. The developers want to wait for player feedback once the new content goes live. If players wish to explore the mines solo, Frostkeep would be willing to implement that request.

Rend-New-Realm
The new realm is called Nidavellir and consists of a mine of the dwarves. In this darkness, a torchbearer is always needed.

First new creature: The Frost Giant Jötunn

The Frost Giant is a group battle: After the launch in Early Access, the Frost Giant Jötunn will be the first new creature. He is intended for group fights and requires multiple players to defeat him.

Dungeon for Jötunn: There will be a special new dungeon. Once the doors open, players can face the Frost Giant. In the dungeon, they will also find new items and resources.

Rend-Frost-Giant
The new Frost Giant Jötunn can only be defeated in a group.

What is Rend? Recently, Rend entered the Early Access phase, in which the entire game is available. It is a mix of survival, MMORPG, and PvP. Rend features a class system and three factions that players can choose from. The setting is a dreamy and mystical world inspired by Norse mythology after Ragnarök.

Rend is a complex game that already has an incredible amount of content. In our playtest, our survival expert Benedict also found that it takes a while to get used to Rend:

Destiny 2: Annual Pass does not bring new planets, but location bubbles

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time < 1 minutes

The Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken is around the corner and Bungie revealed more details about the Annual Pass. While players will explore new locations through the new content, this does not mean that new planets will be added.

Shortly before the release of Forsaken, Project Lead Scott Taylor and Game Director Steve Cotton discussed the contents of the Annual Pass. Although players will get to know new places with the Black Armory, Joker’s Wildcard, and Penumbra, this does not mean that they can look forward to new planets.

Contents of the Annual Pass in “Bubbles”

No new planets in year 2: In an interview with Polygon, Forsaken Project Lead Scott Taylor and Game Director Steve Cotton addressed the question of whether players could visit new areas with the Annual Pass, which is supposed to replace the usual DLCs of Destiny 2.

According to Taylor, Guardians will see new locations, but different from how it has been so far:

We will have new places to explore. Sorry, I should be more specific. It is something we call “Bubbles” or new spaces. I am not saying new planets.

Cotton later reiterated that no new planets would be added to Destiny 2 in the second year.

What does this mean for players? The most plausible scenario for these “Bubbles” is that the content bits of the Annual Pass, which includes the Black Armory, Joker’s Wildcard, and Penumbra, are likely to take place in already known locations.

Through the “Bubbles,” players could be taken to new locations on already existing planets, such as Mars or Io. This way, new places could be explored without the game expanding with additional planets.
