In World of Warcraft the signs are pointing to war. Sylvanas Windrunner sounds the attack against the Alliance …
Those who bought the Goodie Bag available at BlizzCon 2017 will be rewarded with plenty of small items that make the nerd’s heart beat faster. However, one object has particularly piqued interest – a small excerpt from the upcoming book by Christie Golden “Before the Storm”.
The novel will continue the story of Warcraft and connect the expansion “Legion” with the next expansion, which will be presented at BlizzCon tonight.
A first look into “Before the Storm” leaves little room for speculation about where the journey for Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner is headed. During a “walk” through the city of Orgrimmar, she talks to Nathanos Blightcaller and tries to win the heart of the Horde.
Sylvanas Windrunner sounds the attack on Stormwind
Especially the last lines provide insight into what Sylvanas is plotting. Free translation:
“Nathanos was silent. She [Sylvanas] did not interpret this as a sign of rejection. He was often silent. His not asking for more details meant he understood precisely what she wanted.
Sylvanas’ plan seems clear, a large-scale attack on the heart of the Alliance. Whether she can put her plans into action will likely be revealed in the book “Before the Storm”, but possibly even at BlizzCon.
In any case, the signs indicate that the next addon for World of Warcraft will be much more focused on “war” than Legion or Warlords of Draenor. It seems that the Alliance and Horde will finally be embroiled in real conflicts again.
As soon as there is new information from BlizzCon, we will of course report on it. Keep your eyes open on our website tonight!
The second faction rally of Destiny 2 is starting soon. You can earn these new weapons and special weapons.
It’s time to make a decision again! Next week, the second faction rally in Destiny 2 will begin, and the faction leaders from the Dead Orbit, the Future War Cult and the New Monarchy want to win you over to their cause.
You are to pledge allegiance to a faction, then collect tokens for them and earn as many reward packages as possible. The faction that brings in the most reward packages after one week wins the rally.
You support the faction by completing public events, strikes, and the raid, by looting lost sectors, or proving yourself in the Crucible.
Requirements are: You must be level 20 and have access to the Tower.
The second faction rally runs from November 7 for one week.
Faction Rewards of the Second Rally
In the reward packages of the team fight, you will randomly receive several faction-specific items such as weapons, armor pieces, or shaders.
Bungie has already shown the new weapons that you can obtain in these packages.
New Monarchy:
Dead Orbit:
Future War Cult:
Additionally, there are “special weapons” – the winner weapons. At the end of the faction rally, only the winning faction sells this weapon. In other words, the “winner weapons” of the other factions remain under wraps.
These are the winner weapons:
New Monarchy – Sword:
Dead Orbit – Grenade Launcher:
Future War Cult – Fusion Rifle:
If you are a member of the winning faction, you will receive the winner weapon for 1000 Glimmer. But all other Guardians can also purchase this weapon – however, for 50,000 Glimmer.
What changes compared to the first faction rally?
According to Senior Designer Tim Williams, the second faction rally is set to focus more on fireteams. During the first rally, solo players gained tokens the fastest by going through lost sectors; now these changes are being implemented:
Strikes will now grant more faction tokens – between 5 and 9 (previously between 3 and 7)
The Nightfall strike will grant 10 to 18 faction tokens per character upon first completion
Public heroic events will now only grant 5 faction tokens (instead of 8)
By destroying enemy resources, no more faction tokens will be awarded. Opening lost sector chests will give 3 faction tokens for each fireteam member.
They will be keeping a close eye on this event and will continue to improve the faction rally in the future.
Activision-Blizzard has announced positive numbers for Destiny 2. The shooter is the largest console game of 2017 so far in the USA. The metrics are strong.
Activision-Blizzard announced its quarterly results on Thursday. They are excellent. An important contributor to the success of the gaming giant is Destiny 2.
Destiny 2: Largest Console Game of the Year
Activision announces the following data:
Destiny 2 has been the best-selling console game in the USA 2017 so far.
For Destiny 2 on PS4 and Xbox One, 50% of revenue has come from the digital sector – this is a new record for Activision.
Moreover, Destiny 2 is significantly stronger than Destiny 1 in terms of the time each player has spent with the game – also, more people have already ordered the season pass than with Destiny 1.
Now, with the launch on PC, Destiny 2 has also earned more money than the first installment.
These comparative values seem to reflect the current state of Destiny 2 compared to Destiny 1 in the same period in 2014 – Activision Blizzard states “Destiny 2 is far ahead of Destiny 1”.
Surprising Turn – Record in Digital Share
The numbers are quite surprising. Analysts had considered the weak retail sales figures of Destiny 2 and concluded that Destiny 2 had sold about 40% worse than expected. But that was before the PC launch at the end of October.
Apparently, even more people ordered digitally than predicted. The PC release also seems to have worked.
What may be surprising for many Destiny 2 veterans is that Guardians “per head” are said to have spent more time with Destiny 2 than with the original game. Destiny 2 is criticized for being weak in the endgame. Many Guardians who spent 1000 hours on Destiny 1 complain that the successor loses its appeal after 100 hours.
In Destiny 2, this problem does not seem to exist: players reach the endgame. However, Bungie has already announced plans to revise this endgame. Bungie likely sees the problems when players have spent around 90 hours with Destiny 2.
In a few hours, Call of Duty WW2 will be released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. However, owners of the disc version will first need to download a 9GB patch before they can play.
It won’t be long until you can grab your weapon in the new installment of the Call of Duty series. In CoD:WWII, the focus is on World War II. After being able to shoot in space in the last part “Infinite Warfare”, you are now returning to reality.
Players who purchased a disc version will first need to download an update before they can get started.
CoD WWII Update – First patch, then play
You can play the single-player or any other mode in CoD WWII only after you have downloaded the large Day-1 patch.
This discovery was made by players who were able to install their early versions of the shooter. However, after installing, they couldn’t proceed. Now, the important patch is available, which is needed to play.
Developer Sledgehammer released a 9.4GB patch on the servers. Only when this is downloaded will single-player, zombie mode, and more be activated.
Headquarters – Watch others open loot boxes
The Headquarters in CoD WWII are the social gathering place for up to 48 players. Here you can find shooting ranges, pits for 1v1 fights, and large TVs where you can watch the eSports matches of the pros.
However, loot boxes also rain down from the sky. When you request these, they drop as supply drops from the air. Other players can watch you as you retrieve the loot from the boxes. They see the box and the three cards that are displayed to you – and they also receive rewards for it!
In the video, Reddit user cuzseile shows how to open these supply drops in CoD WWII:

Twin Goblins as an Appetizer for the New Season 12
Because every time you encounter a treasure goblin, it will certainly have a second companion in tow. The event starts on Monday, November 6, 2017, at 5:00 PM and ends on Thursday, November 9, 2017, at 5:00 PM. The event will end right when Season 12 starts on November 9 at 5:00 PM.
If you traverse the world of Sanctuary during this period, keep an eye out for the Goblins. But hurry – the creatures are fast. Take them down before they can escape through a dimensional portal.
However, there are restrictions: The bonus does not affect the number of Goblins encountered through a Bandit Shrine, Goblin “Portal” packs, or in the Realm of Greed.
The best farming spot for Goblins has unfortunately been closed by Blizzard. So you will have to settle for the standard routes:
In Act I, you can scour the royal crypts and the southern highlands,
Act II offers a good farming spot with the ancient waterway, and
In Act III, you can make the core of Arreat unsafe.
Those who are quick will need just five minutes for these areas. Once you’re through, simply start the fun again from the beginning.
Will you be going Goblin hunting next week? Let us know in the comments!

At BlizzCon, the new Hearthstone expansion will be revealed. But what setting do you actually wish for?
Many rumors are circulating about what the next expansion for Hearthstone might be. The only hint has been a bag full of gold – which leaves many possibilities open. Here, we briefly outline the 3 most common theories and afterwards want to know from you which of these expansions you would prefer thematically!
Booty Bay – Pirates and Lots of Treasures
The currently most likely theory is a pirate expansion focusing on the pirate city Booty Bay and the South Seas Buccaneers. Booty Bay is certainly a shady place in Azeroth, where not only pirates but also many exiles meet who engage in their not-so-lawful activities. This makes the harbor city, with a beach right outside, a perfect place for all sorts of mischief.
Rebellious gangs of privateers who wouldn’t share the mead with each other would provide a good setting for story missions.
Of course, there would be plenty of new pirate cards that not only warriors could enjoy.
Kezan Island – The Trade Empire of the Goblins
When thinking of gold coins, one must also directly think of goblins in the context of Warcraft and Hearthstone. There is still a lot of lore that can be tapped into which has hardly been mentioned in the MMORPG.
Kezan Island and the associated city of Undermine offer plenty of space for goblins and their shady customers. At the same time, there are plenty of devices that could explode – because goblins love explosions. With various trade princes, there would also be opportunities for cool conflicts in the story missions.
Or does this scenario remind too much of Goblins VS. Gnomes and therefore get excluded?
The Darkmoon Faire
When it comes to gold coins, hardly any visitor from Azeroth is as generous as at the Darkmoon Faire. It is notable that the fair has yet to appear in any form in Hearthstone, which makes this setting very appealing. Since all races and cultures are represented at the fair and dark dealings often take place in secrecy, this would be the perfect opportunity to open the fair in Hearthstone as well.
Silas Darkmoon, the head of the fair, would also be a charismatic figure to guide us through many story missions where we need to eliminate the problems of the fair. Be it customers unwilling to pay or getting rid of corpses that “just happen” to appear…
But now let’s get to you: Which of these 3 settings would you like best as a new expansion for Hearthstone?
There will be an adjustment so you find more other guardians in public spaces. Until now, players were too often alone there.
A problem will be fixed where players were kicked to orbit.
Changes to the Faction Rally
Strikes will now grant more faction tokens – between 5 and 9 (previously between 3 and 7)
The Nightfall Strike now grants 10 to 18 faction tokens per character on first completion
Public heroic events now grant only 5 faction tokens (instead of 8)
By destroying enemy resources, players will no longer receive faction tokens. By opening lost sector chests, players will receive 3 faction tokens for each fireteam member.
Crucible
The mercy rule settings have been updated so that the mercy rule activates slightly later in the match, allowing it to trigger from a wider range of scores.
Conflict
Score limit has been reduced to 50 (was 75)
Control
Score limit has been reduced to 90 (was 100)
Impact of enemy-controlled zones on the spawn system has been reduced
Survival
Round time limit has been reduced to 2 minutes (previously 3 minutes)
Lives have been reduced to 6 (previously 8)
Supremacy
Winning points increased to 70 (from 50)
There is now a point when defeating an enemy guardian
The impact that enemy signals have on the spawn system has been reduced
Additionally, adjustments to the companion app: Performance will be improved, and when searching for clans, suggested clans will be shown.
Patch Notes 1.0.6.1
These patch notes for the PC-specific patch are more concise:
A problem is being fixed where the Clan Overview was not displayed properly.
A problem is being fixed where there could be performance drops.
The upcoming monster hunting game Monster Hunter World will not feature loot boxes. According to the developers, such boxes would ruin the Monster Hunter experience.
Loot boxes are a controversial topic in MMOs. These small boxes contain – often for real money – more or less useful items. Usually, they consist of cosmetic items or boosters, but sometimes they include pay-to-win items.
However, according to the developers, a game should never be plagued by loot boxes: Monster Hunter World!
Loot boxes would ruin everything
In an interview with Gamespot, Monster Hunter producer Ryozo Tsujimoto was asked if he could imagine loot boxes in Monster Hunter World. This was quickly denied. On one hand, there is already randomly generated loot when you carve a monster after the fight.
On the other hand, he opposes giving players assistance through loot boxes. In many games, the boosters and better items from the boxes can help less skilled or active players keep up with top gamers. However, such a feature would, according to Tsujimoto, ruin the entire game principle.
In Monster Hunter, it’s about facing an epic battle against a primal beast. When the beast finally dies, the loot is hard-earned and makes you better. Both in skill and in equipment. However, if valuable items can be pulled directly from the box for real money, it would ruin the entire experience of Monster Hunter.
Monster Hunter World is not designed for microtransactions and loot boxes
Another argument against loot boxes in Monster Hunter World, according to Tsujimoto, is the game itself. MHW is not designed for such loot boxes. Games that rely heavily on microtransactions and boxes are already structured in such a way that players are constantly lured in with the boxes.

Monster Hunter World, on the other hand, is primarily about fighting monsters that you defeat with much skill and good weapons. You then craft better gear and take down even stronger monsters. A game with loot boxes, however, would constantly lure you with the promise that you could skip the “tedious gameplay” by spending money. That is not the path that Monster Hunter World wants to take.
The Pokémon GO Halloween event 2017 is almost over. Use the last hours to catch Shiny ghosts and collect many candies.
In the last few days, we have been able to catch many spooky ghost Pokémon in Pokémon GO. The reason for the increased appearance of these creepy monsters is the Halloween event. But it only lasts a few more hours. If you want to take advantage of the strong candy bonuses or catch rare Shiny ghosts, you should hurry. Because after the event, the ghosts will appear less often.
Halloween is ending, ghosts will become less
Since October 20, we have been finding more Ghastly, Haunter, Shuppet, Misdreavus, and ghost Pokémon from Generation 3 like Sableye, Banette, and Shuppet in Pokémon GO. The new ghosts from the Hoenn region are even available as rare Shiny variants.
Additionally, there are special candy rewards for catching, hatching, and sending Pokémon. They are simply doubled! And your buddy finds candies twice as fast.
However, the event only runs until tonight (November 2) at 9:00 PM. Whether the new Gen 3 ghosts will not appear in the wild anymore is still unclear. The Gen 3 ghosts will also appear in the wild after the event. In December, the remaining Pokémon from Generation 3 are expected to arrive.
Provided Niantic doesn’t push another one of their event extensions. During previous events, the developers often added a few extra hours so trainers could make the most of the events. This could also be the case with the Halloween event. However, there is no guarantee for this.
Last chance for shop packages
If you still want to quickly fill up your supply of Premium Raid Passes or Super Incubators, you have a few hours left. Because the special Halloween discount packages will probably disappear from the game shortly after the event ends.
If you are not sure which package is best for you, you should check out our guide. Here we show you which box is better suited for solo players and which one meets the needs of raiders. Which special box is worth it for you?
The Division is getting an Xbox One X upgrade. Additionally, there is information about Update 1.8.
Recently, the State of the Game streamed on November 2nd, which disappointed a large portion of the viewers, as the chat history showed: Because there is still no official release date for Update 1.8. This will be communicated as soon as possible, likely next week.
There is good news for everyone looking to get an Xbox One X. This powerful console from Microsoft will officially launch on November 7, 2017 – and as has now been confirmed: The Division will have Xbox One X support.
When this update with support will be released and what improvements it will bring, only the future will tell. But the developers already wanted to announce: Yes, there is an upgrade in the works.
Red Storm thanks everyone for the feedback
Leading the way for Update 1.8 is not Massive, but Red Storm – a Ubisoft studio in the USA. Two developers from Red Storm were online in the stream today, thanking everyone for the feedback they received from the community during the PTS.
The PTS phases were very successful. Many changes could be implemented based on community feedback. Now they are looking forward to the launch of this “big Update 1.8”, which will not only introduce a plethora of content such as a map expansion, two new game modes, a new rogue system, a revision of the underground, new mechanics, and new items, but also is completely free.
Thanks to the community, 1.8 has become a great update.
More information from the State of the Game:
The secret gear sets can also drop in the new underground. The bosses and hunters in there can drop these.
The D3-FNC set has been revised and now looks better than ever alongside the ballistic shield.
The sets “Path of the Nomad” and “Sign of the Predator” may be powerful, but they are also intended to be powerful and bring special abilities into the fight.
The live game will be the “real test” for Rogue 2.0. However, they have listened to all the feedback and made some changes.

The tank online game Armored Warfare by My.com receives the major new update 0.22 “Art of War”. In it, you will get new China maps and Chinese tanks. Additionally, Armored Warfare will soon be available on Steam, although with a bitter aftertaste.
Armored Warfare is a tank action game in the style of Wargaming’s World of Tanks. However, in Armored Warfare, you start where tank development ends in World of Tanks. You drive modern tanks that range from the Cold War era to the 21st century. Therefore, you will find famous tanks in the game such as the T-62 or the Leopard II.
Soon, the fleet of Armored Warfare will be expanded with more tanks from China, and the game can be played via Steam.
Update 0.22 “Art of War” brings massive China content and new features
The title of update 0.22 “Art of War” refers to the legendary classic of warfare by Sun Tzu, a general and philosopher from ancient China. Therefore, the Middle Kingdom is the theme of the update. You will receive new maps for PvE and PvP set in rural China, as well as additional Chinese tanks like the 99A1 at Tier 9 and the 99A2 at Tier 10.
Also, there will be plenty of other vehicles from the Czechoslovak research line and the Polish-Czechoslovak line. Other new features in the update include:
Improved graphics
More complex commander system, allowing you to better customize your commanders to your playstyle
Redesign of the map “Waterway”
Revised vehicle mechanics, such as mobility, gun stabilization, and wheeled vehicles

The release of update 0.22 is still unclear, but it should take place in 2017.
Steam launch of Armored Warfare in November
Regardless of update 0.22, Armored Warfare will finally see its launch on Steam. Then you can go tank hunting together with your Steam friends, and some new players are likely to flock to the recently battered tank game. However, what pleases new players is a nuisance for veteran users.
Just like with Wargaming’s World of Warships, you will have to start over with a new account for Steam. Therefore, you cannot use your progress from your previous Armored Warfare account.
This makes many players unhappy in the forums and on Reddit. Some gamers see a fresh start as a welcome challenge. The Steam version of Armored Warfare launches on November 17.
Bungie is releasing an art book for Destiny 2. It features exclusive concept art and behind-the-scenes information.
Bungie has always excelled at creating beautiful and artistic game worlds. Destiny 2 is no exception.
Even though many players currently lament the lack of endgame content and the absence of long-term motivation, Destiny 2 is undeniably a video game that looks fantastic, with each world exuding a different, unique atmosphere. Bungie employs excellent artists.
For fans of the art behind Destiny 2, a new official art book may be interesting, which Bungie will release on December 5, 2017. It is called “The Art of Destiny – Volume 2.”
Some excerpts from this art book
According to the book description, this art book celebrates the dynamic art and visual style that fans love about Destiny. It showcases “hundreds of concept arts” across 216 pages, from early sketches to character illustrations to expansive landscapes.
“The Art of Destiny – Volume 2” is set to include exclusive, never-before-seen images and developer comments. You will learn some things about the game’s development.
This is the cover of the book:

By the end of the year, the so-called Alpha Zero of the MMORPG Ashes of Creation will start, but fans are disappointed.
Note: In an earlier version of this article, I wrote that players are disappointed that there will be no gameplay in Alpha Zero, but only exploration of the landscape. That was incorrect. I apologize for the misunderstanding.
A Zone with Three Nodes in Alpha Zero
Alpha 0 of Ashes of Creation will actually offer gameplay that is limited to a zone of the game world. In this zone, which is 16 km² in size, there are three nodes, one of which can be developed into a village. Depending on which of the three nodes you develop, you will receive different quests and dungeons to see.

Video Shows Only Landscapes, Players Want to See Gameplay
The controversial discussion revolved around the video for Alpha Zero. It only shows the landscape, although players would have liked to see gameplay from the upcoming test phase. There has been enough landscape to admire by now. Players want to see gameplay. Players want to know how Ashes of Creation actually plays.
The Alpha Zero is set to start on December 15. Further test phases for the promising MMORPG are planned for the upcoming year.
Vampires are boring? Apparently not, considering how quickly the funding for the MMORPG Shadow’s Kiss was successfully achieved on Kickstarter.
Just a few hours after the crowdfunding campaign for the vampire MMO started, the desired funding amount of $25,000 was reached. Many players apparently wish for an online game in this dark scenario and are still saddened by CCP Games’ cancellation of World of Darkness.
Find your place as a vampire
Shadow’s Kiss puts you in the citySan Cipriano. Supernatural beings such as vampires and werewolves inhabit it. You belong to the bloodsuckers and must try to find your place in this city and survive. To do this, it is necessary to work your way up through the ranks of vampire society. You do this by completing quests, which do not always have to be resolved with violence. Conversations and diplomacy are to be just as important as fights.
Over time, you will become more powerful and can then bring certain parts of the city under your control. However, this leads to making enemies among the other players, as they might also want to control this part of San Cipriano. It’s entirely up to you how you progress. Do you join forces with other players? Do you try to bring NPCs under your control and use them as servants, or do you want to try it as a lone wolf?
Vampires with superpowers
You have many supernatural powers available to you, which you can also improve. These include quick reflexes, which benefit you in tactical battles. In those, it is also possible to perform combo attacks that cause particularly high damage.
The Kickstarter campaign for Shadow’s Kiss runs until December 5, in case you want to participate. The MMORPG is expected to be released by the end of 2018.
This time, a nearly impossible shot made a notorious streamer 100 dollars richer!
“I’ll give you 100 dollars if you hit him with a headshot”
The following situation took place during the stream of the notorious streamer and troll “DrDisRespect”. The “Doc” is one of the most colorful personalities in PUBG. He always appears as an absurd character with sunglasses, a mullet wig, and a porn mustache, living up to his name by trolling ruthlessly in front of the webcam.
This even earned him the dubious honor of being temporarily banned by PUBG boss Brendan Greene. However, this time the Doc made headlines for landing what was supposed to be an impossible shot.
He was with another streamer, former CSGO pro Shroud, who spotted an enemy on the horizon. The opponent was sitting on a tower and was nearly impossible to see. Shroud then said to the Doc, who had a sniper rifle, “I’ll give you 100 dollars if you hit him. But it has to be a headshot!”.
PUBG troll makes impossible hit
The Doc wouldn’t be the Doc if he hadn’t tried. But the odds were slim. The target was barely visible and the first two shots missed. The Doc had one last attempt, he aimed, adjusted upward once more, and pulled the trigger. For a second, nothing happened, then suddenly:
BANG – HEADSHOT!

DrDisRespect actually hit and ran around the room like crazy with joy. He had made the “impossible” shot and Shroud is now probably 100 dollars poorer.
Antorus, the Burning Throne will be the next raid in World of Warcraft: Legion – and it’s probably coming soon. In addition to set pieces and jewelry, there will also be pretty and “pretty” mounts to collect!
Antorus, the Burning Throne is likely to be released shortly after Blizzcon. Since preparations for this have already been made with Patch 7.3.2, it won’t take long. Get ready to collect the new mounts!
In Antorus, a total of four mounts await the raiders – however, only two of them on normal difficulty. Some can be obtained as loot from bosses, others through quests and achievements. In our list, you can read which mounts there are and how to get them!
Rather macabre than pretty: A mount made from fused Draenei corpses.
The Bound Ur’zul can be obtained from Argus, the Spiltter. Similar to the Hellbeast against Gul’dan, it is said by data miners that on the Mythic difficulty level it has a drop chance of 100%.
Ur’zul are creatures formed from the bodies and souls of fallen Draenei. They will likely be available in different colors. However, how much one would like to ride something like that is another story…
The Violet Spellwing – Quest Reward from Heroic
Would have been very useful while cleaning the library of Karazhan: The Violet Spellwing.
The violet mount is a reward for a quest line. Upon completing the raid on at least Heroic difficulty, Argus, the Spiltter, drops the item “Blood of the Spiltter”. This item starts the quest “The Blood of a Titan”.
The blood must only be handed over to Khadgar in Dalaran to receive the Kirin Tor summoning crystal. This allows the summoning of the violet spellwing.
The Antoran Hound – For the Diligent Achievement Collector
The bluish-purple variant of the Fel Hound duo.
The Antoran Hound is the last mount of the raid, which is available with a 100% drop chance. It is one of two mounts that is based on the second boss of the raid.
However, it requires significantly more effort. To use the hound as a mount, you must complete the achievement “Glory of the Argus Raider”. The following achievements are required for the meta-achievement:
Is that all? – Defeat Imonar the Soulhunter after triggering all the traps on the bridge.
Together, not alone – Defeat Varimathras without triggering “Alone in the Dark”.
There’s a worm in it – Defeat the Worldbreaker of Garothi after you have eliminated 16 Pestilent Wyrms.
Full Portal – Defeat Portalkeeper Hasabel after you have opened a chaotic rift.
Strains – Defeat Aggramar after you have killed a manifestation of Taeshalach.
Sargeras’ Hounds Unleashed – Defeat Sargeras’ Fel Hounds while both Fel Hounds have more than 5 stacks of “Fel Empowerment”.
You can’t play war here! – Defeat the Antoran Command and place a maximum of three Fel Shield Emitters.
Spheres of Influence – Collect the 5 Orbs of Life scattered around Eonar’s Refuge.
The world revolves around me – Defeat Kin’garoth while 9 diabolical bombs are active.
Remember the Titans – Defeat the Circle of the Shivarra while at least one of each type of torment survives.
Star Dust Crusader – Defeat Argus, the Spiltter after you have collected 20 Titanic Power particles within 5 seconds.
All achievements can be completed in Antorus, the Burning Throne on normal or higher difficulty.
The Antoran Ashen Hound – for the Raider with Luck
The last mount available in the raid is the Antoran Ashen Hound. This sibling of the Hound of Shadows in reddish color is random loot with a low drop chance from the second boss, the Antoran Fel Hounds. However, it can probably drop on all difficulty levels.
This means it is also available in LFR. So if you have enough characters and time, you might be able to farm this mount after the opening of the first wing in LFR.
What do you think? Are the mounts an incentive to visit the raid, or are set pieces much more important? Is it worth the effort that one must put into some of the companions? Write us your opinion!

Those who want to succeed in the Battle Royale mode of Fortnite must know the best equipment and the strategically valuable points on the map. Read in our guide in English how you can successfully compete against your opponents with the weapons of Fortnite!
Fortnite’s jovial and entertaining mode Battle Royale pits you against 99 human opponents in battle. Despite the simple game principle, each round offers many tactical approaches that can determine victory or defeat.
The choice of the right equipment needs to be well thought out, as your inventory slots are limited. Alongside weapons and the corresponding ammunition, there are all sorts of useful items scattered around the large map.
The weapons in the Battle Royale mode offer enough variations for every preferred range. From the common pistol to the explosive rocket launcher, everything is included. The quality of the weapons is based on established tiers, which you can assign based on colors:
Gray – common
Green– uncommon
Blue– rare
Purple– epic
Orange– legendary
You can primarily find weapons at named locations on the map. However, there are also smaller buildings between these areas where you can make big loot.
The distribution changes with each round. Did you find an epic shotgun in a specific building in Tomato Town? In the next round, you might only find a gray pistol there.
The Best Weapon in Fortnite Battle Royale? Everything with High Range
Due to the size of the map, weapons with great range are the best option in Fortnite Battle Royale. Sniper rifles and assault rifles are perfect for long-range battles.
However, you should not neglect close combat. With a shotgun or a submachine gun, you are equipped for all kinds of skirmishes.
Assault rifles are suitable for both close and long-range combat depending on the variant found. They reward critical hits, which deal a lot of damage. The following types of assault rifles can be found in Battle Royale mode:
M16 (common, uncommon,rare) – Of the available assault rifles, the M16 is the weakest. Make sure you have a favorable position before engaging in battle with this weapon.
SCAR (epic, legendary) – Perfect for medium distances, but you can hit easily even at long ranges with the SCAR.
Assault Rifle with Scope (rare, epic) – The scope is useless at short distances. At long range, the assault rifles are unfortunately not much better. Instead, grab a sniper rifle.
Burst Assault Rifle (common, uncommon, rare) – Due to the lower recoil, burst assault rifles are extremely good. However, at long distances, you will find it harder to hit all shots.
Pistols
Pistols are the weakest weapons in battle royale mode, but they are very common – and against opponents with pickaxes, you still have a significant advantage with pistols. The variety of pistols is not great; there are only two representatives:
Pistol (common, uncommon, rare) – The weapon deals less damage than the revolver, but its fire rate exceeds the damage over time (DPS) of the revolver.
Revolver (common, uncommon, rare) – The revolver deals significantly more individual damage than the standard pistol, but you must compromise on the rate of fire.
Shotguns
Shotguns are the ultimate weapon for close combat and deal powerful damage. Careless opponents can be taken down in seconds. There are also only two representatives for shotguns:
Pump Shotgun (common, uncommon) – The pump shotgun deals more damage than the tactical shotgun, but the reload time is significantly longer.
Tactical Shotgun (uncommon, rare, epic) – Aim for the head and torso with the tactical shotgun to deal massive damage.
SMGs
SMGs are well-suited for close combat but stand no chance against shotguns. Be sure to stay out of range of pump shotguns, then you also have good chances of coming out victorious from a fight with submachine guns. Also, there are two variants of submachine guns:
Submachine Gun (common, uncommon) – The standard submachine gun. Deals less damage than the tactical SMG, but is found more frequently.
Tactical SMG (uncommon, rare, epic, legendary) – Much rarer than the standard representative, but offers a larger magazine and more damage.
Sniper Rifles
Sniper rifles are excellent for taking out careless opponents at long distances. Since the projectiles of the weapons do not work on a hit-scan principle (trigger pull and hit collision happen simultaneously) but take time to reach the target, moving targets are particularly hard to hit.
An opponent player who has you in their sights will be much harder to eliminate. Careless opponents can be comfortably dealt with using snipers. There are two variants found in Battle Royale mode:
Bolt Action Sniper (rare, epic, legendary) – This weapon is excellent for aiming and deals very high damage. The reload time is a major downside of this variant. If you aim cleanly and concentrated, you can cause chaos among your enemies with this weapon (as long as they are still alive).
Semi-Auto Sniper (epic, legendary) – The semi-auto sniper rifles fire faster and offer a larger magazine than the other representative in this weapon class.
Heavy Weapons
Heavy weapons can be divided into rocket and grenade launchers. They represent the heavy artillery in Fortnite and are perfect for flushing out enemy positions. Especially in the endgame, heavy weapons can determine victory or defeat. Accordingly, they are very rare on the map. There are two types of heavy weapons:
Rocket Launcher (rare, epic, legendary) – Excellent for blowing up cover. The downside is that nearby players will be startled by the noise of the rocket launcher. Additionally, the trajectory makes it easy to locate the creator.
Grenade Launcher (rare, epic, legendary) – Same principle as the rocket launcher, but the explosions are delayed and smaller. Offers 6 shots in the magazine as a trade-off.
Melee Weapons and Grenades
The melee repertoire is limited. In fact, you can only hit your opponents with your starting weapon, the pickaxe – which is not what you really want. The pickaxe is best suited for resource harvesting.
Pro Tip: If you want to relieve fallen opponents of their loot, but want to keep your weapons, equip the pickaxe. Now you only pick up ammunition and resources, as the pickaxe cannot be exchanged.
The grenade is similar to the grenade launcher for chasing enemies out of self-made shelters. They are also useful when you have emptied your magazine and want to gain some breathing room.
Besides weapons, there is also a lot of useful stuff to find in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Details on that are coming up now!
The Items in Fortnite: Battle Royale
Those who loot various houses in search of loot will sooner or later hear a penetrating humming sound. This sound signals a nearby treasure chest. In the scattered treasure chests, you can find the best stuff.
Keep an eye out for small green containers as well. These contain ammunition for your weapons, which would otherwise only be useful as paperweights. Unlike treasure chests, ammunition boxes do not announce themselves with sounds, but you will find them more often near treasure chests.
Besides weapons, you can often find useful stuff in treasure chests that improve your chances of survival:
Shield Potions – Provide a 50% boost to your shield. Use them immediately when you find yourself in a safe position. You can also find an even rarer version of the shield potion that heals your health points and builds up a shield.
Bandage – Heals you for 15 health points up to a maximum of 75 health points. Use the bandage after a fight if you have taken damage.
Medkit – Extremely rare, the medkit provides full healing. While you use the medkit, you are vulnerable for a whole 10 seconds. So be careful to only use the medkit when you are safe.
Strategic Map Points in Fortnite: Battle Royale
Even the choice of the starting point after jumping from the Battle Bus can influence the course of the match. The following aspects should be considered when choosing your jump location:
Those who land in the middle usually have an easier time staying in the eye of the storm
Named areas offer many rewards, but also many competing players that you must contend with for the loot
Anarchy Acres
Anarchy Acres is located in the north of the map and mostly consists of barns with several floors full of loot. Watch out for the open fields around Anarchy Acres; they offer a lot of potential for ambush.
Fatal Fields
The area with the reassuring name is located in the south of the map. Here, too, there are barns for you to rummage through. Since the area is quite popular, keep an eye out for other players. Try to land in such a way that you can loot at least part of the area before you have to contend with your opponents.
Flush Factory
Usually, not much is going on here because the area is far from the center of the map and offers little loot.
Greasy Grove
Equipped with a fast-food restaurant and gas station, the area in the southwest part of the map offers some excellent loot opportunities. Here you should pay more attention to other players, as the area is above average in popularity.
Lonely Lodge
The name of this area is program. The area is quite unpopular as it is on the outskirts of the map. However, it’s definitely worth a detour for the loot opportunities. Should you find yourself in a situation where the storm eye focuses over this area, you can remain long in the watchtower that offers a fantastic view.
Loot Lake
The prominent lake in the center of the map is a popular destination. The two buildings at the boat dock provide plenty of loot. If you are looking for thrills, you can also venture into the building in the middle of the lake. However, you should be extremely careful. When you want to leave the building and the lake, you have to go through the water – making you the perfect target!
Moisty Mire
On the southeastern edge of the map lies the area Moisty Mire, offering a lot of swamp and some wooden huts for loot collection. Additionally, you can find tons of useful items in hollow trees. However, be aware that you have to traverse the swamp for some items, which slows you down and makes you an easy target.
Pleasant Park
Pleasant Park is located in the northwest part of the map and offers excellent opportunities to grab equipment. The area is very popular, so be cautious. To get loot as quickly as possible, land on a roof and break it with your pickaxe. It’s not uncommon to fall directly into a treasure chest.
Retail Row
Retail Row is also a hot landing spot for players. Look out for shotguns to surprise careless opponents. Retail Row offers various opportunities to obtain loot.
Wailing Woods
The forests in the northeastern part of the map house a hut that offers a lot of potential as a hideout. The place is usually not crowded with other players but is inconveniently located and quite far from the center of the map.
