Content is the magic word that keeps online games current and interesting. This has also been recognized by the developers of the pirate online game Sea of Thieves.
A steady stream of new content
Regular content. In May, a major update titled “The Hungering Deep” was released, introducing new content. Later this month comes “Cursed Sails”, followed by “Forsaken Shores” in September. This means that Sea of Thieves will receive a major content update every few months this year to keep players engaged.
The game is set to become richer. The developers state that the foundation of the game is now in place and they now have a great opportunity to enrich the gameplay areas. Players should have more to do and not feel like they have seen everything already.
There’s more to come! Therefore, the developer studio Rare is already planning further into the future. In addition to the content updates already mentioned, which are planned until September, the team is currently working on three more content updates. However, nothing is known about these yet. The expansions are expected to be released later this year. This means there will likely be new content for Sea of Thieves every month starting in September. Players should always have something to do.
Teams alternate with content. The teams at Rare are structured so that something new is always being worked on. The team that developed “The Hungering Deep” is currently working on a new update. Once the team finishing up “Cursed Sails” has released this expansion, it will also dedicate itself to a new update. This ensures a steady flow of new content. Additionally, a fourth team comes into play, which will deliver fresh content at even shorter intervals in the future.
This means that fans of the online game Sea of Thieves can look forward to many regular content updates.

Shortly after the first DLC for Conan Exiles, “Empire in the East”, was released, Funcom now announces the next DLC. The “Jewel of the West” brings the Aquilonians and is set to release soon.
Aquilonia DLC in August: The next DLC for Conan Exiles is expected to be released at the beginning of August. After the first expansion brought the Khitai in the east, the next DLC “Jewel of the West” will bring the Aquilonians from the west to Conan Exiles.
Second DLC “Jewel of the West” brings Roman cities
The Aquilonians are a people in the west of Hyboria, where Conan will one day reign as king in the story of Conan Exiles. The Aquilonians are inspired by the historical Romans – their weapons, armor, and buildings reflect a Roman style.
What’s in the Aquilonia DLC: Like the first expansion, “Empire in the East”, the second DLC of Conan Exiles brings new building pieces and equipment. These items only provide a new appearance and do not have better stats than comparable items in the game.
39 new building pieces – a complete set of Tier-3 building pieces for your base.
15 new armor pieces in three sets, called “Black Dragon Armor” in light, medium, and heavy variants, each having an epic version for the endgame.
Nine new weapons in Aquilonian style, available in iron and epic variants.
Five new Aquilonian decorative war paints, symbolizing things like dominion and valor.
25 new placeable items like harps and advisor chairs, which can be crafted at the Aquilonian craftsman’s workbench.
Roman decadence in Conan Exiles: With the new building pieces, you can build massive structures resembling the city palaces of Roman senators or even recreate a coliseum.
By using the new placeable items, you can bring a decadent flair to your home. Whether it’s an advisor room or a bathhouse to relax in – it’s up to you how to utilize the new possibilities.
Funcom continues to work on free content and bug fixes: The team for the new DLC works independently from the developers handling bug fixes and support for the game. A major update is expected later this quarter, which will allow animal taming and introduce a new god.
Additionally, a major patch is on the way at the beginning of August, which is set to fix over 500 bugs currently afflicting the game. Even players who do not wish to purchase the DLCs can soon look forward to new features and improvements!
With the Dreaming City, the Forsaken expansion introduces a new endgame location for Destiny 2. Bungie has revealed numerous new details about the upcoming setting of the fall addon.
Game Informer has a wealth of exclusive information this month about the upcoming Forsaken expansion of Destiny 2. In this context, Bungie also shared new details about the Dreaming City. We summarize the new information for you.
Bungie announced that the Dreaming City – the home of the Awoken – has tons of new content and activities such as exotic quests, hidden areas, and public events for the Guardians – not just for raid teams, but also for smaller groups and even solo players. These details are currently known:
Raid Location: The Dreaming City is initially the setting for the new raid. This is located in the centrally situated area “Keep of Voices” and will advance the story of the Forsaken campaign.
Patrol Zone: The Dreaming City is also an endgame patrol zone and will only be accessible after completing the Forsaken story and finishing a corresponding quest. In terms of world size, the new area is comparable to Nessus and will offer numerous new quests, public events, and a new activity. Over time, new missions will become available and secrets will be revealed.
New Activity: The new activity is officially called “Blind Well” and bears similarities to Court of Oryx, the Archon Forge, and the Escalation Protocol. In a sprawling cathedral complex, the first task is to make a sacrifice. Then, three to six players face waves of enemies. A toxic Taken gas will block certain areas, forcing players into combat in specific zones. Additional areas will become accessible during the event. Traditionally, a boss fight awaits the Guardian group at the end.
More to do: You will also be able to find new events and exotic quests in the Dreaming City. For example, there is a new public event in the tower defense style called Rift Generator. The goal is to charge an Awoken pillar and thus stop a mock invasion.
The city changes: The Dreaming City is infected by the Taken and exists in two parallel realms – the regular Dreaming City and the Ascendant Realm. The new location has a three-week cycle that influences the appearance of the city. At the end of a cycle, a larger secret awaits the best players.
It will also be possible for Guardians to temporarily travel to the Ascendant Realm with certain items found in the area, and to undertake special challenges or utilize hidden paths that do not exist in the real world.
Guess who is back:Petra Venj is the new vendor and leading character at this location and will change her location during the three-week cycle and change of the city.
Again against the Taken: The Taken seem to be one of the main adversaries of the new location and must be fought to protect the Awoken home and counter the Taken curse. The configuration and power level of the enemies will change.
In Conan Exiles, you dive into the world of Conan the Barbarian, where you can experience your very own epic story. A new trailer from Funcom shows the land of the Exiles from the perspective of another Exile – the Witch Queen.
Conan frees the future Witch Queen: In the trailer for Conan Exiles, Conan himself frees a young woman from the cross: Razma of Shem. She joins him for a while in battle, until Conan eventually leaves her alone. This woman later becomes the Witch Queen of Xel-ha, who rules from her palace in the swamp and can be defeated by you.
Boses are particularly tough opponents. Here: The Witch Queen.
Her story shows what can happen in the land of the Exiles. Are you ready for the journey?
Publisher Kakao Games listens to the fans and finally expands Black Desert with bikinis for women and swim shorts for men. However, players who want to dress their characters will have to reach deep into their pockets.
In many MMOs, players can buy swimwear for their characters during summer. The option to dress the female character in a bikini particularly appeals to many players. Strangely, Kakao Games has taken its time to bring bikinis into the game.
Players had to wait a long time
“Where are our bikinis?” A prominent topic regularly arises in the forums of Black Desert Online that resonates greatly: swimwear. Whether it be bikinis or swimsuits, the players of Black Desert want to equip their characters with swim clothing.
Therefore, the players were excited when they discovered swimwear last week in the Korean version of Black Desert Online. Initially, fans assumed they would have to wait a little longer, but just about a week later, the Korean swimwear arrived here.
Where can I buy swimwear? You can buy the swimwear in the Pearl Shop.
How long is it available? If you want the swimwear, you need to act between July 4 and August 15, 2018.
Expensive pixels
There are bikinis but… If you want one of the new bikinis, you will have to reach deep into your pockets. Kakao Games wants 2900 pearls for each bikini with wrap. This corresponds to a price of 29 euros. At least there is a bulk discount if you buy all bikinis in a package. Then you only pay “4700 pearls”, which is 47 euros.
Women’s fashion: Women receive a wrap called Coco with the purchase of a bikini. The wrap is made of white fabric and becomes transparent when wet.
Female characters can choose from three different bikinis:
Envi: a red bikini
Priyah: a white bikini
Rovini: a blue bikini
Men’s fashion: Men buy their swimwear, like women, in a set that always includes the swimwear and the white shirt Pento. A set costs 2900 pearls. If you want to buy both swim sets for men, you will have to pay 3700 pearls, which is 37€.
Male characters can choose between two different clothing items:
Martillo: a swim shorts
Gorca: a scuba suit
If you want to see the new swimwear in action, you can watch the video from Kakao Games. There, the new clothes are presented.

Swimwear has a long tradition in MMOs. Swimsuits have allowed the Asian MMO Tera to switch from a subscription model to a F2P model with ease. How Elin in swimsuits saved Tera.

Fortnite and PUBG are not only engaged in a fierce battle for the battle royale throne on PC and console, but also as a mobile game. Fortnite has significantly fewer downloads on iOS than PUBG, but earns more money.
Fortnite impresses players with in-game items
Fortnite Mobile leaves PUBG behind: According to Bloomberg, Epic Games generated around $92 million in revenue with Fortnite Mobile in eleven weeks. The mobile version of PUBG only reached $19 million in the same period.
The difference is quite remarkable and becomes even more interesting when considering that PUBG Mobile was downloaded twice as often as Fortnite.
69 out of 100 Fortnite players spend money in the shop!
Why is Fortnite more successful? The purchasing power of Fortnite players is significantly higher than that of PUBG. According to a study by LendEDU that observed 1,000 Fortnite players, about 69 percent spent money in the in-game shop.
58.9% spent money on cosmetic outfits or characters
18.06% bought gliders
13.52% spent money on harvesting tools
9.52% used real money to buy emotes and dance moves
Time-limited skins and battle pass are probably the hit
The reason for this is that players find Fortnite’s monetization system appealing and therefore accept it. There are virtually no loot boxes where no one knows what they will receive. Instead, Epic Games offers time-limited skins. These cost between 8 and 20 euros, but are not constantly available.
As a player, you don’t want to miss these skins and therefore seize the opportunity immediately. Additionally, many players say that the Fortnite battle pass offers a fair deal. For 9.50 euros, you get skins and other items as well as additional in-game currency (V-Bucks) worth 15 euros.
Fortnite’s revenue could further increase with the Android release. Since Fortnite as a mobile game is currently only available for iOS devices and is expected to be released for Android later this summer, the revenue might significantly increase when the Android version is released.

In WoW, everyone has done a few silly things. Some players reveal which (in hindsight) foolish actions they took.
No one is born a pro-gamer. Especially in MMORPGs, there are often many different aspects that newbies haven’t figured out yet. Mistakes often happen, or behaviors are adopted that later turn out to be completely ridiculous.
On Reddit, the user zAsdf677 called for discussions about the most embarrassing and dumbest actions players did at the start in World of Warcraft. We have selected and translated some excerpts for you:
“I thought the rest bonus only applied if you finished the game with ‘/sleep’.” – Sounds somewhat logical, right? Only who sleeps is also rested!
“I kept a gray rabbit’s foot in my inventory because I somehow thought it would improve my loot.” – Gray items of course have no effect on loot luck – but a little superstition sometimes helps.
“My ex-boyfriend (now husband) introduced me to WoW and gave me 2 gold so my character could have an easy start. I went to the auction house and first bought a squirrel.” – At least it might have helped with well-being.
“When I died for the first time, I thought ‘5 minutes until release’ meant that my character’s soul was forever lost and he would stay dead. I died once far enough away from a graveyard that I deleted my character because I thought I wouldn’t reach him in time anyway.”
“As a rogue, I always jumped because I saw that I left footprints in the snow while stealthed and thought others could see them.”
“I always rolled need because I didn’t want to be greedy.” This has confused quite a few players. How is one to understand that “Greed” is less “greedy” than Need?
“I accidentally pressed ‘/’, which activated ‘Walk’ for my character when I received the message ‘You are no longer rested’. It took me a few days to realize that you can also run without being rested.” We should all be glad that this feature never made it into the game.
The absolute “winner” of the whole action is Quicksilvered, who reveals:
“On my first character, I accidentally zoomed all the way in and couldn’t figure out how to reverse it, so I deleted the character and created a new one.” Understandable, as at the launch of World of Warcraft, not all PC mice had a scroll wheel.
To share a bit of my own story:
On my first character (mage), I only bought the spell Polymorph at level 60 when someone pointed it out to me in Scholomance. Until then, I saw no use for why one would turn something into a sheep.
Did you also do a few things that seem embarrassing or stupid to you in hindsight?
In one of the challenges of Week 10 in Season 4 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, you need to find seven chests at Junk Junction. We show you where the locations of the chests are and how you can complete the challenge.
Find 7 chests at Junk Junction: In the challenges of Week 10 of Season 4 in Fortnite, you need to find and open seven chests at Junk Junction. Luckily, this challenge can be completed in different matches. You do not have to open all seven chests in one match.
Little space for treasure hunters! Junk Junction is not very big. Therefore, there are only relatively few chests there.
In our Junk Junction chest guide and the corresponding map, you will quickly find out where the search for treasure chests is most worthwhile in Week 10!
7 chests in Junk Junction – How to complete the task from Week 10
Junk Junction is remote: The junkyard called Junk Junction is not easy to reach, as it is located at the very top in the northwest of the map. You can only get there quickly when the Battle Bus is flying conveniently in the area. Otherwise, you need to deploy your glider early and sail to your destination. In this case, it takes longer, but you will likely have less competition.
How many chests are in Junk Junction? According to the map by Reddit user “TheSquatingDog,” there should be a total of 14 chests in Junk Junction. But be careful! The chests do not appear every time in the usual game modes of Fortnite. Which chests spawn depends on randomness. Only in game modes with better loot chances, including “Pure Gold,” are all chests guaranteed (almost) to appear.
Where are the most chests? The ideal loot spot in Junk Junction is the large brick building in the middle. There is one chest that can already be reached from the roof. Open the door to the shed with the slanted roof. One floor down in the back part of the building, there is another chest behind the wooden boxes. Downstairs in the ground floor, there is another chest hidden under a small roof.
Other good chest locations? The metal llama in the north also counts as Junk Junction. There is one chest in the head of the creature. You will find another in the body itself.

Keep your eyes open while gliding! Seven chests can spawn in the open air at the junkyard. You may see them from the air. Land first and grab them right away! On the road to the south, there are several vehicles. There are two more chests there.
Complete several challenges at once!
Pro tip: When you loot the chests, you should get a lot of good equipment and weapons. This should make it easy to complete the kill challenges as well, especially since Week 10 only requires ten random kills.
Among the challenges of Week 10 in Season 4 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, there is once again a special task for you. This time, you need to fly through 20 floating rings at the start of the game.
Floating rings again? The challenge with the floating rings is actually well-known. It also arrived in Week 10 of Season 3 of Fortnite: Battle Royale. Therefore, many fans considered this challenge to be a placeholder when data miners presented it in a leak about the challenges of Season 4, Week 10.
But this time, Epic probably didn’t feel like trolling the data sniffers. Because all the information was correct this time. Even the ring challenge was accurate.
Here you will learn how to easily and quickly solve the weekly task.
The rules of the rings
Finding rings is not difficult: The rings are all located in the air and are especially easy to reach at the start of the game. You basically just need to fly through the rings. It doesn’t matter whether with a glider or in free flight. The rings do not have to be reached in the same match. That wouldn’t even be possible!
The trick is to reach as many rings as possible in each match, so you can complete the challenge in just a few runs.
This is how you achieve all rings in record time!
Watch out when jumping! The rings are available this time on three levels:
Pink rings: These rings are found at the very top. There are often several at once
Blue rings: Below the pink rings are the blue rings
Green rings: You’ll find these rings quite low down. They can also theoretically be reached with trampolines
This is how you maximize your ring yield: As mentioned before, you should try to get more than just one ring per jump. Therefore, take a look at the map from the Battle Bus. As soon as you spot a cluster of at least five rings, jump out of the bus over them.
Look from the bus where the best ring concentrations are.
First pink: It is effective to unpack the glider right away and assess during the flight which of the pink rings is the highest and which is the lowest. Then try to cover at least two of the pink rings with the glider.
It suffices if you fly through the rings with the glider.
Then blue and green: After that, position yourself and glide or fly through the lower levels. You should comfortably achieve between three and four rings per pass and complete the challenge fairly quickly.
Attention: Flying around will cost you a lot of time. So don’t expect to find much equipment or make a big impact in combat. Unless you’re lucky and your opponents have already significantly weakened each other without you.
Gambit is not the only new mode being introduced with the release of the Forsaken expansion to Destiny 2. The Crucible is also getting a new format in the form of Breakthrough. In addition, four new PvP maps are coming.
With the Forsaken addon, PvP in Destiny 2 is also seeing some updates in the fall of 2018. As Bungie exclusively revealed to Game Informer, alongside four new maps, a new game mode will be introduced in the Crucible – Breakthrough. We summarize the details we know so far for you.
Breakthrough Mode and 4 New Maps – However, Not Directly at Launch
New Maps and New Mode: As the Crucible Design Lead Derek Carroll stated at Game Informer, the team will take a break for a few weeks with the Forsaken release. After that, they will release four new maps and the new Breakthrough mode for the Crucible.
Unfortunately, there were no further details on the new maps. However, some details were revealed about the new mode.
This is what makes Breakthrough special: According to the description, Breakthrough will likely be found in the competitive playlist. The new mode is designed for two 4-player teams and offers objective-oriented gameplay. Carroll outlines the new PvP mode as follows:
At the start of each round, both teams try to capture the Breaker, which then allows them to hack the opposing Vault. Once the middle Breaker is captured, it cannot be recaptured by the opponent. One team thus goes into defense. The attackers must capture the opponent’s Vault before time runs out to secure the round for themselves. Otherwise, the defenders win.
Similar to Control: The description sounds very much like a modified Control mode, in which up to three different zones must be captured on the map. The most significant difference, however, is the fixed role distribution between attackers and defenders that cannot be changed in each round, unlike the regular Control mode. Some similarities to the Headquarters mode from the Call of Duty series are also evident in Breakthrough.
Capcom confirmed that the Behemoth will arrive in August for Monster Hunter World. The new DLC monster originally comes from Final Fantasy XIV. Gameplay is expected to be shown soon.
The exact release date for the Behemoth is still unknown. Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto revealed in an episode of Monster Hunter Radio that the king of all beasts will be released in August.
Who is the Behemoth? The Behemoth is a strong, recurring foe in the Final Fantasy series. Behemoth is primarily characterized by its incredible physical strength and defense. It is also the first monster to be taken from another franchise for Monster Hunter. In return, the Rathalos comes to Final Fantasy XIV.
Our Final Fantasy expert Irie has already described the Behemoth in detail:
On July 15, the Behemoth will be showcased for the first time: Capcom will hold the “The Hunting Thanksgiving 2018” event at the Makuhari Messe. Here, Japanese players can try the mission with the Behemoth. Capcom will also stream the first gameplay with the beast live.
Many fans speculated that the Behemoth would arrive in July. This would have made sense, as the big Summer Twilight Festival is coming up soon. From July 13 to July 27, hunters can replay old event quests here. There will also be special content just for the festival.
Bless Online is still in Early Access in the West. Therefore, content will gradually be added until the full release. Missing content includes the classes Assassin, Mystic, and Warlock, as well as certain game content. Neowiz has now revealed more about the Assassin.
The Assassin Gets Up Close
When can you play the Assassin? According to developer Neowiz, the Assassin class is “likely to be released after the server merger“. Work on the rework of the class is already complete. The team is now only working on a few modifications to optimize the class’s animations and effects.
How does the class play? Assassins get up close and personal with their opponents. They focus, similar to the Ranger, on dealing damage to single targets, but can also deal damage to groups with their poison bomb.
In the Japanese version, Assassins had a stealth ability and practical crowd control skills to manage their opponents. They could move behind opponents to deal high damage.
Neowiz has announced a rework for the class. It remains to be seen which game systems of the Assassin will be retained and which will be replaced.
Players can choose between six classes: Neowiz has already discussed before the Steam launch that players can look forward to the classes Assassin, Mystic, and Warlock, as these will be added during development. This will expand the class selection, giving players more flexibility in how they can play Bless Online.
Tip: In Bless Online, enemies already drop equipment for the Assassin class. So if you want to prepare for the new class, you can already start assembling equipment sets.
When Will Warlock and Mystic Arrive?
Fans will have to be patient. In total, there will be 8 playable classes in Bless. However, not much is known yet about the two upcoming classes, Warlock and Mystic. The development team will focus on the Mystic class after the Assassin. New races are planned before the Warlock, so players will have to wait a bit longer.
Week 10 of Season 4 in Fortnite: Battle Royale lets you search for treasure again. This time it’s called “Search between movie titles”. Find out here where you can find the treasure from the final week!
Finally movie titles! After data miners allegedly said that the search for movie titles should have started in Week 9, it is finally here. You are to retrieve the treasure between the movie titles in the challenges for Week 10 of Season 4. To do this, you need to travel to Risky Reels.
The treasure between the movie titles – Here’s how to find it!
Off to Risky Reels: As suspected, you need to go to Risky Reels this time to learn the crucial hints for the location of the 10th treasure. Risky Reels is a drive-in cinema located in the northeast of the map. There you will find a sign that displays the movies currently playing. It mentions an “Orange Crusher,” a “white lion,” and “TV Dreams.”
But if you search between the poles of the sign with the titles, you find nothing. So where is the treasure?
The true location of the treasure
Head to the northwest! Rather, the movie titles are references to real places on the map.
The “Orange Crusher” is the junk press at Junk Junction
White lions are in front of the large football stadium
TV Dreams refers to the television in the house between Junk Junction and the stadium
Here in the area of the blue marker you need to search.
Between these three points is the treasure. The picture here shows you the exact location on the map.
Where exactly is the treasure? Land just south of the house with the TV Dreams. There is a small path and directly below it a small patch of earth. There is the star. It appears when you get close to it.
We found the treasure!
But watch out for being shot by your fellow players during the treasure hunt and recovery of the star! At the beginning of a challenge, players are often quite tolerant and don’t shoot right away. But there are always John Wicks around.
Once you finally have the star, you should definitely finish the ongoing match correctly, otherwise it won’t count. If necessary, just let yourself get killed. That works too!
The treasure location as a video
You want to see the treasure location of Week 10 as a video? As before, YouTubers have made the recovery of the treasure and have already found it. Therefore, we have embedded a video from the YouTuber The Goblin here.

On July 5, Far Cry 5 will receive the free Title Update 8 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, bringing new modes and bug fixes. However, players are still waiting for the most requested feature.
In addition to the three confirmed DLCs, Ubisoft will continue to support Far Cry 5 with free updates. The latest update brings a photo mode, new items for the Arcade mode, and much-needed bug fixes. However, players are still eagerly waiting for New Game+ or another character slot.
Update 8 brings Photo Mode
Photos for the single-player mode: The update introduces a photo mode to Far Cry 5 that can be used in all single-player modes. This includes the main campaign and the three previously announced DLCs: Dark Hours, Stranded on Mars, and The Living Zombies, as well as solo maps in Arcade.
The photo mode can be found in the pause menu and puts the player in a third-person view to better capture the image. It allows for a certain area around the player’s character to be portrayed.
There are also several image settings, such as time of day, various filters, or frames. It is also possible to set whether characters in the image are shown or hidden and what facial expression the player’s Deputy should have.
Lobby browser, Arcade assets, and bug fixes
Update brings further innovations: The lobby browser for the Arcade mode is new, allowing players to find multiplayer lobbies. In addition, new items from the already released DLC Dark Hours and the upcoming content Stranded on Mars in July have been added.
There are also several bug fixes, such as fixing minor crashes and issues in some missions. The complete patch notes can be found on the official Ubisoft website.
Fans want New Game+
Players are slowly losing hope: As much as players appreciate the continued support for Far Cry 5, the community’s biggest wish has still not been fulfilled. Even at launch, there were requests for New Game+ or an additional save slot to replay the story.
The online shooter Battlefield 5 will not only offer familiar multiplayer modes, but also something entirely new.
The alpha of Battlefield 5 is over and players have already given their opinions on it. According to a Reddit user, a hint has now appeared in the Battlefield 1 home menu indicating which multiplayer modes fans can expect in the upcoming online shooter.
Eight modes – plus Battle Royale
Familiar modes are included. In the message that was allegedly seen in the Battlefield 1 home menu, it was stated that the following game modes will be included:
Conquest
Domination
Frontlines
Team Deathmatch
Breakthrough
Something completely new is coming. However, the message also mentioned that Battlefield 5 will receive three completely new modes. It is supposed to be something brand new. However, there are currently no hints about what this might entail.
Battle Royale counts separately. Since the Battle Royale mode is to be added to the online shooter later on, it is generally expected that this does not count among these three brand new modes. Furthermore, Battle Royale is no longer considered new.
What about Final Stand and Airborne? The two game modes Final Stand and Airborne do not appear in the list of regular game modes because, according to previous information, they are likely only playable as part of Grand Operations.
Thus, Battlefield 5 will have eight game modes – plus Battle Royale, assuming the information is correct. The online shooter will be released on October 19 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Attention: Shotguns have been nerfed and deal hardly any damage to buildings. Miniguns, on the other hand, do a lot more damage!
Challenge 2 – Search chests at Junk Junction
Easy job: This task is the usual “collect X chests” challenge. Just ensure you land first at Junk Junction and loot as many chests as possible. Ideally, fly there when the Battle Bus is farthest away from it. Then there should be less competition.
Wasn’t this the same before? In fact, there was exactly the same challenge at the end of Season 3. Epic apparently didn’t want anything new. Or the rings symbolize the grand conclusion of a season? In any case, you need to fly through 20 of these rings while jumping out of the Battle Bus.
Challenge 4 – Search a chest, ammo crate, and supply drop in a single match
Hanging in there pays off: The first two sub-tasks are quite easy. Almost everyone finds a chest and ammo crate right at the start of the match. However, supply drops are harder to get.
They usually only appear when the storm zone is getting smaller. You will find the most at the end of a match. So you need to stay alive long enough to open one. The task must be completed within a match; otherwise, it doesn’t count.
Guide to the task: By the way, here’s a guide to supply drops and how to find them quickly.
Challenge 5 – Search between film titles
This task is challenging: What this means and where exactly the film titles are located is something we still need to find out. We assume it’s at Risky Reels.
An extremely easy challenge: Ten kills are not few, but since you don’t have to do them in one round and not with a specific weapon, you can let loose. Shoot, blow up, beat up, or push your opponents until you have the ten kills.
Pro tip: Ideally, you should go to heavily populated places like Tilted Towers or areas where you still have kill tasks from other challenges open.
Challenge 7 – Eliminate opponents at Fatal Fields
The typical kill job: This task is nothing special. Just go straight to Fatal Fields, grab a weapon, and get started. Ideally, you can also finish the first three kills for the other challenge from week 10. Fatal Fields is quite spacious, so grab weapons with good range and lay in wait.
Heroes of the Storm is getting crazier. Now Blizzard is already opting for “Mad Max” skins and putting demons in cars.
Blizzard is known for occasionally going a bit overboard in Heroes of the Storm. Especially when it comes to wacky skins, the designers don’t hold back.
It seems they drew inspiration from post-apocalyptic scenarios like “Mad Max” and decided to bring some skins from the “Scrap Desert” into the game. In the future, Azmodan, Nazeebo, and Raynor will have significantly more bodywork.
Azmodan will get the “Dominant Kraszmodan” skin
Nazeebo will be “Diesel Priest Nazeebo“
Raynor will become “Road Raider Raynor“
The new skins will be available with a future update. When “Scrap Raider” will be released is still uncertain. Well, let’s see if this doesn’t lead to a scandal over emissions…
What do you think of these new skins? A cool addition to Heroes of the Storm? Or definitely too crazy?

Guardians only have to wait a few more weeks until the first major expansion of Destiny 2: Forsaken is released. New gameplay footage shows that a new Escalation Protocol could also be coming with Forsaken.
If you were to ask the Guardians what the best feature of the Warmind expansion is, the answer would mostly be the Escalation Protocol. The “horde” mode is very popular – it makes sense that Bungie would need to step it up with Forsaken, right?
Bungie continues to build the hype: Bungie has exclusively revealed many new details to Game Informer, including in the form of gameplay videos. One of the gameplay videos suggests that we are seeing the new version of the Escalation Protocol here – with new enemies:

The game mode is described: The video does not mention the Escalation Protocol at all, but the narrator does say:
“We’ve fought hundreds of the new enemy faction.” This translates to us having already fought hundreds of the creepy new enemies. A mode with hundreds of enemies? Sounds a lot like Escalation Protocol.
And the shown scenes certainly suggest a new Escalation Protocol or a similar event (0:24 – 0:27), however, there is no official confirmation. It is also not known whether Bungie will comment on the rumors.
New offshoot is likely to please fans: A reissue of the horde mode is likely to delight the Guardians, especially with new enemies and new challenges. If the interpretation of the gameplay video holds true, the Guardians will have plenty to do in Forsaken.
Finally, the Gambit mode has also been announced as a new game mode that has received mostly positive feedback.
Another record in World of Warcraft has been set. The first groups completed a “Mythic +30” dungeon – within the time limit!
Just before World of Warcraft: Legion comes to an end, records are once again being broken in the mythic dungeons. One group has now managed to become the first team in the world to complete a dungeon of “Mythic +30” difficulty within the designated time limit. They finished with less than one second remaining!
The Lower Karazhan was the target. The group consisted of a Blood Death Knight, Holy Paladin, Affliction Warlock, Fire Mage, and Windwalker Monk, who chose the Lower Karazhan as their dungeon. Many records have already been set here in the past. Now, they have broken the magical barrier of “Mythic +30” within the time limit. Thus, the group is the only one in the world to have achieved this feat so far. You can watch the complete run here in the video:

Finish at the last second. To call the achievement “tight” would be an understatement. The group had less than one second left to finish the dungeon on time. If even one of the last attacks had not landed a critical hit, the attempt would likely have failed. A bit of luck was also part of this achievement.
Will more records be broken? The players don’t have much time left, as the Pre-Patch 8.0 is coming out in a few weeks. With this, the artifact weapons will be significantly weaker, as their properties will be deactivated. Whether “Mythic +30” will still be possible is questionable.
What do you think of this achievement? Impressive, even now with the upgraded artifact weapons? Or not so great, just before the end of the addon?
For Pokémon GO, the APK download for update 0.109.1 is already available. But be careful! This brings problems.
Pokémon GO is regularly updated with new content. This can include new features, attacks, monsters, or capabilities.
The latest update brings the Aqua Cannon attack, which is intended for the Community Day. However, there are issues with the connection between the GO Plus accessory and the game.
Update 0.109.1 Data Mining
Not much there: In the new update, there don’t seem to be any significant changes. In the data mining, only three things have been noted.
Aqua Cannon – How strong is the attack?

The values: Since the announcement of Aqua Cannon for the Community Day with Squirtle, the values for the attack have finally surfaced. It is a charged attack with 2 bars (even if there are 3 bars in the preview image). It is a fast attack that deals 90 damage in just 1.9 seconds.
As PokémonGOHub reports, this special attack does not make Blastoise a top attacker in the meta. Compared to other water Pokémon like Kyogre or Vaporeon, Blastoise with Aqua Cannon is rather weak.
More for collectors: Based on these findings, Blastoise with Aqua Cannon is more of a case for collectors among you. Unless Niantic significantly improves the attack or Blastoise itself, it is not the top choice as an attacker for raids.
Pokémon GO Plus with issues
Early APK downloads show problems: A new update spreads rapidly among Android users who upload and share the APK. This happens even before the update is displayed for everyone in the Play Store.
Players who have downloaded update 0.109.1 are complaining about connection issues with the GO Plus. The gadget does not connect anymore due to the update and only shows errors.
New outfits, nicknames for friends?
Data miner Chrales found out that there are new items to wear in the game’s code. These include:
Pikachu Fan Headband
Pikachu Fan Shirt
Pikachu Fan Shorts
Pikachu Fan Shoes
Additionally, a feature is said to be in development to give your friends nicknames in Pokémon GO.
Will this be released as such? It is still unclear whether Niantic will release this version for all players or if another update will be released due to the issues with the GO Plus.
