In week 9 of Season 4 in Fortnite: Battle Royale, you will find another treasure map. It is located in Haunted Hills and leads you to a hidden treasure. Here’s how to find it!
Do not trust the data miners! Once again, the foxes at Epic have tricked the data miners. Because in the leaks about the challenges for week 9, only “Search between movie titles” was mentioned so far. Therefore, many players guessed Risky Reels, as movies could be shown there.
But in the end, it was all nonsense, Epic has only used placeholders, as we suspected, to keep up the suspense. As usual, there’s again a traditional treasure hunt complete with a map.
The treasure from Haunted Hills – Here’s how to find it!
No map needed: The treasure is a Battle Star worth ten big points in the Pass. For that, you get a complete level in the Battle Pass as always. To find the treasure, you do not need to find the map in Haunted Hills first. It is enough to go straight to the location. It is not far away, in Junk Junction.
Off to the junkyard! Junk Junction is a junkyard located in the northwest of the map. You may need to glide through the air a bit to reach this spot.
The treasure map that you find in Haunted Hills.
In this image, you can see the exact location on the map again.
The treasure is on the junk pile.
Where exactly is the treasure? Land in Junk Junction directly on top of the car pile at the middle of the upper edge. Right where the “N” of Junk Junction is on the mini-map. A blinking star should appear as you approach. Collect it, and it belongs to you.
And here you see the star in detail!
But watch out that no one shoots you while searching for and collecting the treasure! Although players are usually quite tolerant at the beginning of a challenge, there are always nasty John Wicks. And once you finally have the star, make sure to finish the ongoing match correctly, otherwise, it won’t count. So if necessary, just let yourself be eliminated.
The treasure location as a video
Would you rather see the treasure location of week 9 in video form? As always, YouTubers have already attempted to retrieve the treasure and found it. Therefore, we have embedded a video by the YouTuber Sensation Live here.

There you can see where exactly the treasure is located, even though the player has already experimented beforehand and therefore the star does not appear in the video yet. But it is there, don’t worry!
Recently, Destiny 2 received a smaller update. Officially, it only removed a faulty weapon ornament from the Eververse. However, the hotfix 1.2.1.2 evidently also brought new database entries. Fans have now found new catalysts and concrete hints about the Armsweek event.
Before the launch of the Forsaken expansion on September 4, Destiny 2 will receive a larger update on July 17. The update 1.2.3 marks the end of Year 1 and enhances the game with some additional features. Additionally, it brings the new seasonal event “Solstice of Heroes.”
Smart fans now believe they have stumbled upon further details of the upcoming update.
Details about Armsweek and new Masterwork Catalysts discovered
New catalysts in activities: While sifting through the Destiny 2 database, some community members discovered new entries after update 1.2.1.2.
They found sources for eight additional exotic catalysts that were not previously in the database. According to the data, five of them will be available in activities of a previously leaked weekly event, the Armsweek. The remaining three are likely tied to the raid and the upcoming prestige modes of the raid lairs.
The discovering fans assume that these contents will enter the game with the July update, since for example, the prestige modes for the two raid lairs are also supposed to be introduced with this update.
The sources and properties for the following catalysts are now known

Also, the masterwork catalyst for the Sturm is now in the database, but its source cannot currently be determined.
While such database entries have almost always proven to be accurate, they have not been officially confirmed. Therefore, these details should also be treated with appropriate caution.
Fortnite: Battle Royale offers seven new challenges and tasks for the Battle Pass in Week 9 of Season 4. Read here what there is to do and how to complete the Challenge of the ninth week.
The final tasks for Week 9: Previously, it was known according to datamining leaks for Week 9 what needed to be done this time. But some tasks sounded vague and might have been placeholders. Now everything is known, and we can present you the final version of the week’s challenges.
Find out here how to solve all challenges and earn more points in the Battle Pass.
All Challenges of Week 9 in Season 4
The four “easy” challenges of Week 9 can be found in the following list:
Deal damage to opponents with explosive weapons (500): Ideally, you should complete this challenge with a rocket launcher. Otherwise, you will have to handle C4 explosives or grenades, which can be quite complicated.
Search chests in Moisty Mire (7): This place is full of chests and fairly expansive. You should have no trouble quickly finding the chests. There are plenty of chests at the film set and in the swamp area to the east by the three large trees. In our guide to the chests in Moisty Mire, you can find all of them!
Use a shopping cart (1): Shopping carts are back in the game! So take the opportunity and ride around in them for a bit.
What do you get as loot? Still, five stars drop in the Battle Pass for each task. With every ten stars, you gain one level, so there are two levels available.
The hard challenges in Week 9 of Fortnite
These three challenges are each worth a full ten stars in the Battle Pass: This means each time a full level in the Battle Pass and thus an instant reward!
Follow the treasure map from Haunted Hills (1): To solve this task, you need to go to Junk Junction. What you need to do there, you’ll find out in our guide to the treasure from Haunted Hills.
Eliminate opponents with shotguns (4): Until recently, shotguns were the ultimate weapon in close combat, making this task correspondingly easy. With update 4.5, the shotguns were slightly nerfed, but it should still be relatively easy to get four kills with shotguns.
Eliminate opponents at Anarchy Acres (3): The usual kill task. The open field is a sniper’s delight, so watch out or lay in wait!
Complete the Blockbuster Challenge!
Week 9 also counts towards the Blockbuster task! To unlock the Visitor skin, you need to complete all challenges in seven weeks. So if previous weeks’ tasks have been too hard, you might have better luck in Week 9 and still get the Visitor.
Recently, the representatives of the Council of Stellar Management of the space MMO EVE Online were elected – there were allegations of vote buying and election fraud – which is, however, legal in EVE Online.
Vote Buying in EVE Online? Whatever.
What is the Council of Stellar Management? The CSM is made up of elected players who work closely with the developers of the MMORPG and communicate directly with them. They convey the wishes and concerns of the players to the developers.
Purchased votes drive players crazy. About 50 players ran for a spot in the player council and campaigned via Twitter, podcasts, Reddit, forums, or even live in the game. A total of votes from 29,417 active accounts were cast. However, things were not quite right here. There were allegations that some of these votes were bought with in-game credits.
A screenshot was posted on Twitter showing how the already controversial player “The Judge” offered 50 million ISK for each vote to others.
Players expressed their outrage, leading to arguments.
Buying votes is allowed. In EVE Online, there is no regulation prohibiting the purchase of votes for such elections. CCP Games provided a small statement. Employee CCP Guard explained: “Buying votes is not a good way to secure a place in the CSM. Because it can backfire, as many dislike this practice.”
A Disqualification Causes Upheaval
There was a disqualification. Shortly before the election, a disqualification occurred as one of the candidates made racist remarks. CCP Games announced that they generally do not interfere in such elections, but in this case, action had to be taken. Reactions from players were mixed:
Some players felt that the logs on which the disqualification was based were too far in the past and that the player had significantly improved since then
Others supported CCP Games in their decision
Others believed that the logs were intentionally forwarded to CCP Games to eliminate the candidate from the election
Some players believe that The Judge has something to do with it, as he would have actually landed in eleventh place and thus not been elected to the council, which consists of ten people. It was only because the other player was disqualified that The Judge could get into the CSM
However, all of this does not change the result. The ten members of the CSM for EVE Online have been determined, as the election was declared valid.

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Switch & Xbox One) is getting a few new skins again. Dataminers have found the upcoming shop offers in the code of update 4.5.
Whenever a new update comes to Fortnite, the developers have already implemented the upcoming skins for the shop in the code. The new outfits are ready to go as soon as they are unlocked in the shop later.
Dataminers are therefore already waiting to sift through the code and publish the images and names of the new outfits in advance.
Gangsters and Patriotic Cuddly Bears
Which skins could be coming to the shop soon? The defining theme of the upcoming skins and outfits this time is the celebrations for Independence Day on July 4th and … Mafia Gangsters!
Additionally, there will be new superhero and villain skins. This includes a cool female version of Omega! Also, many of the skins will have new back bling. We have summarized the skins from the datamining in a gallery here.
The new Pickaxes, Gliders and Emotes
These are the harvesting tools: As always, there are a lot of wacky harvesting tools. In addition to a cool axe called “Razer’s Edge”, you will get a type of steering wheel, a magnifying glass and a red pickaxe.
The new Gliders: Three new gliders have been leaked this time from the datamining. Two wacky designs and an extremely cool device in the shape of a classic car!
Emotes as well: If you are into emotes, you will soon have a lot of fun. Because there are datamining hints about five extremely cool new emotes. Including an eternal Dab move, an epic dance and patriotic fireworks! We have embedded dataminer tweets with videos of the emotes here. Have fun!
When and whether these shop offers will come to the game is still unknown. But they will surely find a buyer or two. Which upcoming new addition is your favorite?
Plans have reportedly been made for FC Bayern Munich to enter eSports. Uli Hoeneß is apparently not a fan of FIFA 18 – he opposes the “FC Bayern eSports”.
eSports has become increasingly important in FIFA, especially through the Weekend League. With the FIFA 18 Global Series and changes in FIFA 19, EA is strongly moving towards eSports.
However, in Germany, digital football has prominent opponents. Besides Hoeneß, DFB President Reinhard Grindel is also not a fan of eSports.
FC Bayern with its own eSports department? Hoeneß says no
Plans for eSports at FCB had already been made. Allegedly, the Munich team had already planned their move into eSports. With a budget of 5 million euros, they would have been very well positioned financially and could have shaken up the market. Facilities were to be created in the new youth development center.
Hoeneß himself reportedly vetoed it. According to sport1, Uli Hoeneß himself put a stop to the project. In his opinion, eSports does not fit the basic understanding and the tradition of FC Bayern Munich.
The main goal of FCB was not FIFA. The plans of the football club were apparently not primarily aimed at FIFA. Instead, the focus was on titles such as Fortnite, League of Legends, or Dota 2. Thus, a possible FCB team for FIFA 19 is even further away.
Basketball department of Bayern with its own eSports team
FCB Basketball with “Bayern Ballers Gaming”. In April, FC Bayern Basketball founded its own eSports team in the relatively small scene of the NBA 2K simulation. The first official matches are expected to take place in August.
Decision separate from the football club. Media Chief Andreas Burkert, however, makes it clear that the decision comes only from the basketball department and has nothing to do with the football club FC Bayern. They probably would not have received any support from Hoeneß.
Other Bundesliga teams see an opportunity. Not only FCB Basketball, but also many Bundesliga teams such as VFL Wolfsburg, FC Schalke 04, or Bayer 04 Leverkusen already have an eSports department. Their players are also quite successful in FIFA. In the scene, “Tim Latka” or “TimoX” are well-known names and considered major talents.
For collectors of artifact weapon skins, the last chance has come. For a few weeks, the Mage Tower in WoW is permanently active.
Already a few weeks ago, Blizzard announced it, and now the promise has been fulfilled. The Mage Tower of World of Warcraft on the Broken Shore is permanently active. Until the release of Patch 8.0, all players can try to obtain their special appearances for the artifact weapons. Yesterday, there was an error, so the Mage Tower was not active on EU servers. However, Blizzard quickly pushed out a hotfix.
The Mage Tower is located in the area of the Broken Shore. Normally, players have to gather resources to build the tower. Then the tower is active for three days and allows players to undertake the particularly difficult challenges. This restriction was lifted with the maintenance. Until the release of Patch 8.0, the pre-patch for Battle for Azeroth, access to the Mage Tower quests can now be permanently gained.
Costs in Nether Shards remain. However, there is another hurdle. Only the first attempt at the Mage Tower is free. If you fail, each subsequent attempt must be paid for with 100 Nether Shards.
If you want to unlock all the skins of the artifact weapon, you will have to put in some serious effort. Because there are a total of 36 different skins, one for each specialization. However, many challenges are identical. Tanks share the same quest, and there are only a few missions for healers.
In the code of Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Switch, iOS & Xbox One), data miners have once again found new information about upcoming content. Therefore, the Jetpack will soon make a return!
Data miners find new mode: With Update 4.5, new game files for Fortnite arrived. In them, data miners have diligently searched for new content that is not yet active in the game. Alongside the cool new Tommy Gun, the miners also found a new game mode. In this, the Jetpack makes an explosive return!
The Jetpacks are coming back
Finally flying again: The Jetpack has only been available in Fortnite for a short time. However, it was well received by fans after initial problems. Therefore, the developers probably intend to bring it back soon. The new mode for the Jetpacks will likely be called “Fly Explosives.” Jetpacks will be available as regular loot spawns on the ground.
Jetpacks and explosions: The new Jetpack mode will have special rules again. Aside from the jetpacks, the new mode will be teeming with explosive weapons.
As soon as you have a Jetpack, you can grab a rocket launcher and then fly around like Pharah from Overwatch, raining death from above. Or you can throw sticky grenades or C4 charges from above. It will definitely be a blast!
When will the new Jetpack mode come? Unfortunately, there is still no information regarding the date of the new mode. We will report on it once the mode Fly Explosives goes online.
At the end of July, Bless Online developer Neowiz will merge all existing servers. Players are looking forward to this, hoping for a greater number of fellow players. Neowiz has announced the exact rules by which the merger will take place.
The server merge is coming
When? July 24, exact time to be announced
Which characters are affected? All characters created before July 24 will be transferred to the new servers.
Server merge in Europe: In Europe, the existing seven servers will be merged into two new servers. It will still be possible to play characters in both factions after the merge.
The servers Physis and KuatRan will be merged into the new EU server Bacillas.
The server named after the dragon Ventus will disappear.
If you are playing on the servers Daimon, Ventus, Ermekis, Baraka, or Melacazeus, you will move along with your fellow players to the EU server Iriaphos.
Server merge in North America: The existing eight servers will be merged into two new servers.
Tanara, Habicht, Sforza, and Deblahyim will merge into the new NA server Hilan.
Liyanthes, Murabi, Chinuwa, and Gagato will be connected to the NA server Kairos.
What will happen to your characters
Are characters no longer faction-bound? In Bless Online, players can only join one faction per server. Character creation is then limited to the faction you chose at the beginning. If you have created characters of different factions on the merged servers, you will only be able to play characters from one faction.
The characters of the other faction will be deactivated. Upon deactivation, the characters will not be deleted but will remain available to you. You can request activation. At that time, the characters of the respective other faction will be deactivated. You can find out which characters will remain active from the prioritization list below.
What happens if I created more than four characters? If you have created more characters than the new server has slots, excess characters will be deactivated. If you purchased server slots on one of the old servers, these will be added to the new server.
If players have fewer than four characters across all merged servers, all characters will simply be transferred to the new server.
Prioritization list: All your characters will receive a value indicating their prioritization.
Priority: Characters that are guild leaders
Priority: Characters with a high level
Priority: Characters that were last actively played
Not everyone will be able to keep their character name
What happens to my character name? If another character has the same character name, your name will be temporarily changed.
The first priority goes to names of characters created before June 26 and actively played between June 26 and July 24. If another player with the same name as you does not log in during this time, you can keep your name. Otherwise, both players must change it as soon as they log in. The player who changes their name first can then keep the original name.
Second priority goes to names of characters created after June 26. If your name overlaps with an existing name before June 26, you must change your name. On the new server, your character will receive a temporary name consisting of the original name and a number.
To change your name, you will receive a free name change. If you do not change your name, you will not be able to connect to the game with this character.
What happens if another guild has the same name? If two guilds have the same name, there is also a list that defines who may keep their name.
Priority: The guild with the higher level may keep its name.
Priority: If both guilds have the same level, the guild that was created earlier may keep its name.
Priority: If neither of the above rules works, both guilds having the same level and created on the same day, both guilds will receive temporary names. The guild name may be changed by the guild leader.
All gold will end up on one server
What happens to my gold? The gold from all merged servers will be combined on the newly created server. If players on servers 1 and 2 each have 2 gold, they will have 4 gold on the new server.
What happens to inventory slots? Your purchased inventory expansions will be transferred to the new server. However, if a character with an expanded inventory is deactivated, the inventory expansions will be converted to Lumena and credited to the character on the server with the highest level.
What happens to purchased Lumena and items? If your character has acquired Lumena but is deactivated, you will receive a message via the postal system attached to your Lumena. Costume items and items from the “Extended Function” tab from the Special Currency Shop will be converted to Lumena and also delivered to you via the postal system.
How is this received by the players?
Previously separated players can play together. At the start of the early access of Bless Online, the faction selection was restricted on almost all servers. Many more players wanted to fight on the side of the Union. Therefore, players, although they had purchased Bless, could not play together on the same server.
No free choice of servers. Some players would like to choose which of the two new servers they will end up on. Neowiz has probably decided against this to keep player numbers relatively equal on both servers.
A server merger is necessary
Declining player numbers. In many newly launched MMORPGs, player numbers decline after the first few weeks. Hardcore players have already reached the maximum level, and there is not really much to do anymore.
According to SteamDB, almost 7000 players log in daily to Bless. These 7000 players are spread over more than 15 servers in North America and Europe. Hopefully, the merger will fill the rather empty servers with players again.
In 2017, the Samsung Galaxy (SSG) team won the World Championships in League of Legends. Now the winners received skins for their favorite champs in LoL, as per tradition.
The winning team SSG showcased the skins in a video: The guys revealed for the first time how the skins will look in the game, animated. This presentation was full of body language and is at least as nerdy as it is charming.
The players themselves demonstrate the “Recall” animation of the skins: The SSG players here imitate the animation of the skins, with which the champs teleport back to the base. This all happens against a desolate, gray background. Instead of a sword, a parasol is wielded. The world champions don’t take themselves too seriously here and are on the verge of laughter from time to time.

World Champions Traditionally Receive Skins in League of Legends
Since forever, world champions in League of Legends receive their own skin collection in the game, allowing them to immortalize their team and victory there. The Korean team SSG managed to beat SKT in the finals in 2017 and secured the trophy. Concepts of the SSG skins were already presented in March. However, they were first seen in motion in the video above.
Winners choose the champs for the skins themselves: The players work together with the skin designers and can express their wishes. Thus, the players also choose the champs they represent in the game. Usually, these are the champions they played a lot in the World Championship.
Which champ belongs to which player?
Gnar: CuVee
Ezreal: Haru
Jarvan IV: Ambition
Taliyah: Crown
Xayah: Ruler
Rakan: CoreJJ
The 6 SSG skins of the World Championships 2017 in League of Legends at a glance.
Each Skin Represents a Piece of Korean Culture
Players expressed the wish that the skins should represent Korea: The winning team comes from Korea and the players wanted to see a piece of their home in the skins. The skin designer Riot Stellari explained what piece of Korea is represented in each skin.
Xayah & Rakan: The couple leans on a Korean crow, the Magpie. Xayah’s flower is the national flower, and Rakan’s hat features a traditional hat that one receives for passing a government test.
Ezreal: This skin is inspired by the Korean Hwarang (Flower Warriors). These ancient elite warriors are often depicted with long hair.
Jarvan IV: This skin has a lot of the player Ambition in it. However, the beard and the ultimate ability of the skin also reference the famous Admiral Yi Sun Shin.
Taliyah: This skin is based on the Korean novel Hong Gildong jeon. The novel can be compared to Robin Hood. Taliyah is a stone bender and uses a type of marble with this skin that is often found in ancient Korean sites.
Gnar: This monstrous champ has been realized as a white tiger, which holds significant meaning in Korean culture.
The skins will be priced at 1350 RP, which is just under 10 Euros. They are currently on the test server. Once the skins are available in League of Legends, they will also only stay in the game for a limited time.
What do you think about the skins and the performance of the world champions?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
With Update 4.5 to Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Switch, iOS & Xbox One), hints about upcoming content have resurfaced in the code. Dataminers have found clues about a new weapon: a gangster-style Tommy Gun!
Dataminers at work: Every time an update for Fortnite comes, there are already files in the code preparing for upcoming features. Dataminers specialize in extracting such hints from the code, providing a glimpse of future content.
The latest finding: A Tommy Gun! This refers to the legendary Thompson submachine gun from the 1930s, which is a must-have in any mafia gangster film or World War epic.
Tommy Gun as a new Assault Rifle?
What can the Tommy Gun do? According to the dataminers TwoEpicBuddies, the Tommy Gun will soon be found in the game under the name “Drum Gun” (due to its drum magazine). Here are the following details:
Type: Assault Rifle
Rarity: Gray, Green, Blue (so it should be fairly common)
An alternative to the Assault Rifle? Unlike the original, the Tommy Gun is thus a rifle and not a submachine gun. It will serve as an alternative to the Assault Rifle and the Burst Assault Rifle.

It may deal less damage, but it has a higher rate of fire and, thanks to the thick ammunition drum, likely much greater magazine capacity.
When is the Tommy Gun coming? There’s no information on that yet. But for those who like new weapons, they can first enjoy the dual pistols that were recently introduced with Update 4.5.
What do you think of the idea of the Tommy Gun? Does Fortnite really need another assault rifle? Or is it just the iconic design of the cool gangster piece that makes it worth appearing in Fortnite?
In a video, the creators of Fallout 76 showcase the world and gameplay. Take a look at West Virginia after the nuclear war!

Some players of Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Switch & Xbox One) have recently been upset with Sony. Once the Fortnite account is registered on the PS4, it cannot be used on the Switch anymore. However, Sony now offers hope for a solution.
The Crossplay Dilemma: Sony refuses crossplay on the PlayStation 4 when it comes to the Switch or Xbox One. You cannot play Fortnite or other games with these platforms together.
It’s particularly bad on the Switch, as your account is blocked if you have registered it on the PS4. Currently, you can only play on the Switch with a new Fortnite account, without your achievements and purchased skins acquired on the PS4.
Sony is confident in finding a solution
Finally some hope: After Sony initially ignored the problem and then caused even more trouble with a press release, there are now more conciliatory tones. In an interview with Eurogamer, Shawn Layden, CEO of Sony Interactive America, spoke about crossplay and Fortnite:
We are looking at a lot of possibilities. You can imagine that the surrounding circumstances will affect more than just one game. However, we are confident that we will find a solution that is accepted and understood by the gamer community while simultaneously supporting our business.
What could Sony do?
No concrete solution proposal yet: What exactly Sony is considering is not known. However, there are several possibilities, including:
Allow crossplay completely
Continue to prohibit crossplay but lift the block to Nintendo
Allow crossplay but not permit “cross-purchase.” According to an insider, the idea of buying items on another console and then playing them on the PS4 was the main reason against crossplay at Sony.
As soon as there is any new information on this development, we will keep you informed. What do you think? Will Sony really become more liberal with crossplay, or is this just a smokescreen?
In Pokémon GO trainers can now add friends and send gifts. We show you how to find the trainer code and add friends with it.
The friends function: If you want to connect with other trainers in Pokémon GO, you can send them a friendship invitation. This is done with the trainer code.
Find Trainer Code
The code is important: Other trainers who want to add you as a friend need your trainer code for that. It’s a 12-digit combination of numbers that you can retrieve in Pokémon GO.
Where do I find the trainer code?
Start Pokémon GO on your device
Then click on your trainer picture in the lower left corner
Now select “Friends” at the top, which is right next to “You”
There you will find the button “Add Friend” – tap the button
Now you will find the option to enter a friend’s code at the top, while the lower area shows your trainer name and your trainer code. With the button “Copy your Trainer Code” you have the number in the clipboard and can paste it into WhatsApp or other platforms.
Adding Friends in Pokémon GO
Here’s how to add friends: To add a friend in Pokémon GO, first ask them for their code. Then copy the number that your friend gives you. Now follow the instructions shown above up to step 4.
Now select the empty field at “Add Friend” and enter your friend’s trainer code there.
Instead of copying the number, you can also enter it by hand.
Afterwards, the friend request will be sent and just needs to be accepted by the other player. Once that happens, you will be friends in Pokémon GO.
Pokémon GO: Finding Friends
Where is the overview? Click on your trainer picture in Pokémon GO and then at the top on “Friends”. Your friends will be listed here. Simply select an entry in the list to find the options to send gifts or trade. What do friends bring in Pokémon GO? Through the friends function, you can receive gifts from players worldwide. Friendship in Pokémon GO also has advantages with local trainers. Because if you participate in raids together, you gain more attack power and even more Premier Balls.
Here you can find friends for Pokémon GO: In our Facebook group for Pokémon GO, we have created a photo album that makes finding friends easier. After you join the group, you will find the “Friend Codes” album. Comment under the respective photo with your code and maybe share if you are looking for friends to raid or just for gift exchanges.
At local events like Community Days or raids, you can also simply ask other players for their code and then add them. This way, strong raid groups can also be formed in rural areas when you utilize the attack bonus.
The hunt for masterwork catalysts is currently very popular within the community of Destiny 2. However, many fans are wondering what will happen to the catalysts from the faction rally after Season 3 ends. Bungie has now clarified this.
Exotic masterwork catalysts are currently in high demand among many Guardians. Especially with the hunt for the three faction-exclusive catalysts, many players are passing the time.
However, the limited availability of these coveted rewards is causing concern among Guardians. Fans with limited playtime will not be able to get all the catalysts. And until now, it was unclear whether these seasonal rewards would also be available after the end of Season 3.
Now Bungie has clearly addressed this issue.
Faction-specific catalysts available after Season 3
Everyone who is unable to collect all faction catalysts during Season 3 can breathe a sigh of relief.
As Community Manager dmg04 confirmed on Twitter, players will be able to earn the three exotic catalysts for the Workhorse, the Sunshot, and the Graviton Lance even after Season 3 ends. However, dmg04 did not specify how they will be obtained.

Furthermore, he clarified that Bungie currently has no plans to hold a fourth faction rally as part of Season 3.
Recently, there have been increasing calls for a fourth group fight. Because some fans with limited playtime have already realized that they will not be able to get all three catalysts during the three group fights.
Additionally, there is currently a bug that prevents faction gear from being purchased from the respective vendors. Since a complete armor set increases the effective faction token output (you reach Max Renown faster), many fans have also requested at least one more event as compensation.
Those who are always short on cash in World of Warcraft can now rejoice. Artifact Power no longer strengthens your weapon, but gives you cash instead.
With the maintenance work (June 27, 2018), a lot has changed in World of Warcraft. Many players have already noticed that the badges for Artifact Power now have a gold value. This means: Artifact Power can now be sold at the vendor as it no longer serves any purpose.
How much gold do the badges give? The earned gold from the Artifact Power tokens depends directly on the rarity of the respective item.
Uncommon (“Green”) is worth 10 Gold
Rare (“Blue”) is worth 25 Gold
Epic (“Purple”) is worth 100 Gold
Why can you sell Artifact Power now? With the server maintenance, a new quest has been unlocked that leads players to Silithus. After completing the quest chain, your Artifact weapon becomes unstable and overcharges. This leads to the weapon automatically having the maximum amount of Artifact Power. Thus, all tokens for Artifact Power have effectively lost their purpose.
Don’t worry: You can no longer “accidentally” use the tokens once you have completed the new quest chain with Magni Bronzebeard. After that, your Artifact weapons will have reached their maximum, and using the Artifact Power tokens will throw an error message.
But beware! If you still have Artifact Power tokens in your inventory and have not completed the quest yet, do not use them. That would be a waste and you would miss out on some gold coins.
Even though the gold amounts are not particularly high, it is at least a small additional incentive. A few more coins can certainly not hurt in Battle for Azeroth, as a mount costs a whopping 5,000,000 gold coins!

Two of the currently largest games have faced each other in court. Now the legal dispute between PUBG and Fortnite suddenly stops.
What happened? We already reported in May that PUBG Corp, the studio behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, is suing Epic Games – the people behind the battle royale competitor Fortnite.
Little details: The lawsuit was in South Korea and concerned copyright infringement. However, no details about the progress of the dispute were to be made public at that time.
Now it’s already over: Now the lawsuit is said to have been withdrawn. PUBG is no longer suing Fortnite.
No reasons given
Lawsuit concluded: As Bloomberg reports, the lawsuit of PUBG Corp. against Epic Games was withdrawn earlier this week.
Why? PUBG and their lawyers confirmed that the lawsuit was withdrawn. However, they did not want to say whether there was already a settlement or what the exact reasons are.
Similarities of the games: Both studios are partly owned by the Chinese gaming giant Tencent. In addition, PUBG uses Epic’s Unreal Engine.
What was the lawsuit about? In court, it was to determine whether “Fortnite” by Epic Games is a copy of “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,” the shooter by PUBG Corp. There may have been copyright infringements.
There were supposed to be similarities in the style of the interface and the minimap. More details about the lawsuit between PUBG and Fortnite can be found here
Fans have examined the E3 gameplay of The Division 2 and noticed something strange. The running animations seem very odd compared to the predecessor. Let’s take a closer look at this.
The gameplay of The Division 2 has pleased many. The new open world, the new skills, the new specializations – all of this was showcased and received positively by the audience. However, one thing caused some concern among parts of the Division community. The sprint animations.
Animations look strange and unnatural
While the other movement animations looked mostly good, the movements during sprinting seem to be the problem. It looks somewhat like the agents have an invisible block between their legs.
In this video, you can see the comparison to The Division 1.
Considering that the demo shown was visually much better than The Division 1, everything seems even stranger. Now players fear that the animation will be the same in the final game.
But what could be the reasons for the strange running animation?
It is an alpha version
The version of the The Division 2 gameplay presented at E3 was an alpha. Much of what will be included in the final game is not yet present or not yet finalized. For example, we did not see any equipment mods because there was not a final system in the alpha.
So it is conceivable that the movements will be tweaked before launch. However, it is also possible that the animation is intended as it is. This relates to the predecessor.
The “Chicken Dance” – A frustrating problem in The Division 1
Another assumption seems quite plausible: The so-called “Chicken Dance,” which is very common in PvP of The Division 1, could play a role.
What is the Chicken Dance? This term refers to the rapid back-and-forth movement of players to avoid enemy fire. This makes it harder to hit the target.
No matter what the reason may be, it looks odd in any case. We will have to wait and see how it looks in the final game. Perhaps there will be some changes even by the beta.
If this is really a measure against the Chicken Dance, we can definitely live with this compromise.
What do you think of the running animations? Can you accept them if they remain as they are?

The new Season 5 of Fortnite finally has an official start date. However, it will start later than initially thought. This is to give you more time to complete all tasks in Season 4.
When does Season 5 come? When the new Season 4 started in Fortnite, there were already 10 weekly challenges visible in the menu. If you calculated 10 weeks into the future from the start date, you would arrive at July 9, 2018, as the end point of Season 4.
3 extra days: However, it was unclear for a long time if this was correct. But Epic has now finally announced the official start date. It is not on July 9, but 3 days later, on July 12, 2018 at 10:00 AM our time.
Double XP on the weekend! So that everyone can still achieve success in Season 4, Epic is planning a bonus XP weekend. Here are the following details:
Start: June 29, 2018 at 10:00 AM our time
End: July 2, 2018 at 09:00 AM our time.
During this time, you can additionally earn 100 percent more experience points on top of the usual bonuses from the Battle Pass and through teammates. Ideal to earn a few more Battle Pass tiers or to earn your season level for the add-ons to the skins Carbide and Omega. Have fun and good hunting!
The rocket is likely the key: The developers have not revealed the theme of Season 5 yet. There will likely be teasers from Epic shortly before July 12, similar to what happened in Season 3.
The popular FUT player Heung Min Son (25) from Tottenham Hotspur in FIFA 18 may have his last appearance in FIFA 19. The reason for this are South Korea’s military service regulations.
South Korea, Germany’s last group opponent, has a big star: Heung Min Son. He is not only popular in his homeland, but everyone wants to have his FUT card in FIFA 18.
But Son fans should maybe cheer for South Korea instead of Germany tonight. Otherwise, we might see the Premier League winger for the last time in FIFA 19.
In South Korea, every man must serve. By the age of 28, every South Korean must have completed the mandatory military service lasting at least 21 months. Many of Son’s national team colleagues have already done this at a younger age.
Son Chose His Career. Instead of going to the military, the former Hamburger preferred to pursue his steep football career. After his stints in the Bundesliga with HSV and Bayer 04, he moved to the Premier League to Tottenham Hotspur. The soon-to-be 26-year-old, however, still has to complete his military service.
International Success as a Way Out. There is a way out: Son must achieve great success with the South Korean national team. This includes performing well in a World Cup or, as a last resort, winning the Asian Games in the fall.
FIFA Ultimate Team: Why is it Important for FIFA Players?
Heung Min Son is a popular FUT card. Especially in FIFA 17, but also in FIFA 18, Son was one of the most popular players overall. Every one of his special cards was in demand and he could almost always be found in Premier League teams. It’s no wonder that the Korean was nicknamed “Sonaldo” by the community in reference to CR7.
The comparison to Cristiano Ronaldo is quite justified when looking at the stats. Son’s card is even cheaper (340k on PS4) than CR7’s (370k).
What Makes Him Special in FIFA?
Two-footed: 5 stars on the weak foot is his greatest strength. This makes him unpredictable in the attack and able to shoot from anywhere.
Skillful: 4-star skills and a good dribbling stat add to his surprise potential in attack.
Speed: 86 speed on his 83-rated card is already good, and with his numerous special cards, he reaches the 90s range.
Shooting: Especially his finishing (84) and long shots (87) stand out. He can score from almost anywhere – and this is already evident with his regular gold card.
Physicality: 1.83m is extremely tall for such a fast, skillful player. He also has a stamina of 81, which allows him to last the entire game.
As you can see, his FIFA card is very strong. Many FUT fans would not be pleased if Heung Min Son had to pause his career, causing his card to disappear from FIFA. But will that be enough to cheer the South Koreans on in the match against Germany?
