What weapons and armor are available in the Leviathan raid of Destiny 2? Here is an overview list of the raid loot.
Since September 13, 2017, the first raid in Destiny 2 is live. It is called “Leviathan” and takes the Guardians into a kind of palace, where everything is adorned in gold.
The weapons and armor pieces that can be earned exclusively through the raid also feature a gold-white design, and countless Guardians are currently hunting for them. We show you which raid gear has already been discovered.

The mini-scandal about overly large breasts in the beat ’em up Hyper Universe reaches a new dimension: the smaller breasts of the EU version are now to become the standard, and the game will become more modest even in South Korea. Outraged fans shout “Censorship.”
Hyper Universe is a sidescroller MMO from South Korea. When the game launched in Alpha here in the West, a discussion erupted in the forums about how women in the game are portrayed in a sexualized manner: the breasts are large, a lot of skin is shown. Some felt: “This is not a game I want my children to play.”
The topic became the most discussed forum post about Hyper Universe during Alpha.
Compromise Proposal: Smaller Breasts
Publisher Nexon then engaged in a compromise: the graphics were slightly toned down, without changing much about the game. The breasts of the women have become slightly smaller, and here and there, the characters have been given more fabric.
It was said that this was a compromise between Asia and the West. What is still okay in Asia is viewed as too sexualized in the West. Nexon understands this, hence the step. Nexon does not want to hurt feelings.
Some fans have been upset about this, rejecting such changes as censorship. A game should be played as it is originally intended, as the artist envisioned it. The website One Angry Gamer also rejects this censorship and provides statistics on how detrimental the decision was for the game. According to Steam Spy, many players demanded a refund of the purchase price of Hyper Universe via Steam after the censorship decision.
Censored Version Becomes the New Step
Now there is an unusual step: developer Cwavesoft wants to transfer the changes made in the Europe and North America versions to the original version in South Korea. They say: Fans are concerned that the nudity and breast physics demean the female characters and make the game inaccessible. Players have stopped playing Hyper Universe because they felt uncomfortable due to the excessive sexualization.
A compromise proposal from the breast-friends to introduce a switch that makes the changes optional was rejected by Nexon. Fans have already developed an “uncensored mod” for Hyper Universe.

In Destiny 2 there is an exotic weapon that can only be obtained through the raid. What is the Legend of Acrius and how do you get it?
The Legend of Acrius is among the list of prominent names like the Vex Mythoclast, the Necrochasm, the Malice Touch, and the Outbreak Prime. These four weapons were Exotics in Destiny 1 that could only be obtained through the four raids. The Legend of Acrius is now the raid-exclusive Exotic in Destiny 2.
If you want to obtain the exotic shotgun “Legend of Acrius”, you’ll have to put in some serious effort.
What can the Legend of Acrius do?
As no one can yet hold the weapon in its full glory (why that is, we will discuss later), only the intrinsic perk is known so far:
The weapon fires a powerful shot that passes through enemies.
Additionally, the shotgun has excellent range and arc damage.
The Legend of Acrius – the exotic shotgun
The stability is also very good. What is less impressive is the magazine size and reload speed. You can fire just one shot with the weapon before you need to reload. Perhaps this will change when the weapon’s full potential can be unleashed.
To get the Legend of Acrius, you need the quest “To the Comms”. You receive this quest randomly once you reach level 20 and kill Cabals all over the locations, which should not take too long during public events and similar.
Once you have received the quest – which is located in your power slot in the character menu – you need to return to Nessus and collect the communication codes by killing Cabals. Just start a public event with Cabals, and you should soon have the required 5 communication codes.
World Destroyer – Off to the Leviathan Raid
Once you have gathered the necessary codes, the quest name changes to “World Destroyer”. To continue the quest, you must now finish the raid and take down Emperor Calus. This will likely be the hardest step. Help can be found here:
Benedict 99-40 is your contact in the Tower for the tokens collected in the raid and also triggers the next quest step. You can find Benedict 99-40 in the Tower below Ikora and Hawthorne. He is the cleaning robot.
Take down the arms dealer in the Strike
After speaking with Benedict 99-40 in the Tower, a new quest marker will appear in the EDZ at the Cabal base Hades. You need to complete the arms dealer strike on Prestige difficulty (Power Level 300).
An anomaly that needs to be destroyed
Furthermore, you will also have to deal with a very scarce resource here: time. The timer starts at only 7 minutes. To gain time, you need to destroy so-called anomalies, which are scattered throughout the strike. They are similar to the data grids on Nessus. Each destroyed anomaly increases your “timer” by 30 seconds.
Cabal Slayer – time for a chat with Benedict 99-40
Back to the Tower to Benedict 99-40. He gives you the quest “Cabal Slayer”, which is structured similarly to the quest The Storm and The MIDA Multi-Tool.
Specifically, you need to
kill 25 Cabals with the Legend of Acrius,
15 Cabals at close range, and
10 Cabals without reloading
Particularly the last step is tricky, as you only have one shot in the magazine. You need to shoot at the Cabals when they are lined up so that you hit more than one enemy at a time. Two killed enemies at once are sufficient for this.
The Seals of Your Majesty – and on we go
The quest is still not finished. Back with our buddy Benedict 99-40, we receive the next task.
Now you must collect so-called Imperator Seals, which are only available upon completion of the raid. Benedict asks for 10 of them. However, you will not get that many if you only complete the raid once. You will definitely need to start the raid a second time.
You earn these seals by completing stages, successfully overcoming these, and opening chests.
The Prestige Raid – The Crown
Once you have gathered the 10 Imperator Seals, the quest is still not complete. Benedict 99-40 sends you back into the Leviathan raid, but this time on the “Prestige” difficulty, analogous to the hard mode of the raids from Destiny 1.
This step can still not be completed. Bungie will unlock the Prestige Raid on 10.10.2017.
You see, the quest is hard work – let’s hope it will be worthwhile in the end.
What do you think of the shotgun and the quest? Are you looking forward to soon unleashing its full power?

In 2013, our site Mein-MMO launched for the first time! Back then, some promising MMOs were starting. But which ones were most important to you at that time? We conducted a survey and present the winners here!
Four years ago, at the end of 2013, Mein-MMO went online for the first time. Just like today, we report on trending MMOs. Of course, there was no Destiny 2 or PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds four years ago, but there were other titles that interested you back then. By the way, the embarrassing title image also comes from 2013.
We selected the 4 most relevant new releases from our founding year based on view counts and asked you on Facebook which four games you found most interesting in 2013. Almost 300 users participated. Admittedly, it wasn’t the strongest MMO year. Here’s the selection:
Rank 4 – Dragons Prophet – 3%
The online role-playing game Dragons Prophet impressed back then especially with dragons! But not only as grim opponents did the fire-breathing lizards appear. You could capture, tame, and train the creatures into heavy mounts.
Thus, Dragon’s Prophet combined the typical MMORPG gameplay with quests, dungeons, and raids with the addictive collecting satisfaction of Pokémon. Only this time, instead of cute pocket monsters, grim dragons were collected. Consequently, Dragon’s Prophet was chosen for the 4th and last place in our 2013 ranking.
Defiance started in 2013 as a promising project. The game aimed to combine the advantages of a shooter with those of an online role-playing game. One could consider Defiance as the first MMO shooter of the new generation, from which Destiny and The Division also emerged.
The head of Trion, “Scott Hartsman”, responded to us at Gamescom 2017, when we brought up the current “MMO shooter boom”: “Defiance was ahead of its time in terms of concept and would resonate more today.” Additionally, there was a unique connection between Defiance as a game and the corresponding science fiction TV series.
Meanwhile, the series has been canceled, and Defiance instead continues the story. However, in 2013 the game was still so vibrant that you chose it for 3rd place.
By the way, here you can find our test of Defiance from December 2013.
Rank 2 – Neverwinter – 24%
The action-packed online role-playing game Neverwinter wasa full success back in 2013. On the one hand, it looked great and had a fast-paced action combat system. On the other hand, it took place in the famous Forgotten Realms world of Dungeons & Dragons, the ancestor of all role-playing games!
In Neverwinter, you slay through hordes of typical D&D monsters like orcs, undead, skeletons, and frost giants. The absolute highlight back then was the “Foundry”, an editor in which anyone could build their own dungeon or scenario and share it with the community. Neverwinter is still actively played today and was chosen by you in our survey as the 2nd best MMO of 2013.
In 2013, a game was given a second chance, which had initially flopped colossally. Final Fantasy 14 was relaunched this year under the guidance of Naoki Yoshida and thereby initiated a success that continues to this day. The powerful expansion Stormblood and its success is the proof.
Already at the relaunch, we at Mein-MMO covered Final Fantasy XIV, and to date, over 400 articles about Square Enix’s online role-playing game have accumulated. Due to its high quality and large fan base, Final Fantasy XIV was chosen by you as the top game of 2013!
Since September 5th, as owners of the Premium Pass in Battlefield 1, you can shoot each other on the snowy maps of the new DLC. I took a closer look at the maps and weapons. My impressions are available in this playtest of the DLC “In the Name of the Tsar.”
In Battlefield 1, I have accumulated hundreds of hours of gameplay and I am still not tired of battling in the First World War.
On the release day, I waited all morning to finally play the new expansion. Quickly selected my class and off to the battlefield. I was playing as a sniper and managed to take out some enemies; suddenly, a heavy snowstorm swept across the map – man, what a feeling!
That was my first few minutes of gameplay in “In the Name of the Tsar.” And then there’s the atmosphere! Rarely has a game made me experience the battles so intensely.
The Maps – Winter is Coming
The expansion “In the Name of the Tsar” offers 6 maps. There’s something for everyone, as there are maps that focus more on infantry battles and expansive battlefields with planes and tanks. I tested all the maps in the “Conquest” mode.
On Zaryzin, the Russian forces battle it out in a small town with a cathedral in the middle. The focus is on dense infantry action. If you want to take out a few soldiers quickly and prefer not to run across the entire map, you will feel at home here. However, in some of my rounds, enemy forces marched right in front of our spawn. The developer needs to tweak this.
Albion reminds me a bit of the good old days when I played “Wake Island” non-stop. There are also several islands on Albion, but this time in a snowy appearance. For transportation, you have various ships here, but a real soldier will also jump into the icy waters. Also interesting: Heavy artillery batteries are at your disposal to cause total devastation.
Thirdly, there’s the map Brussilov’s Fortress. Here we battle it out in a small mountain village. Bitter infantry fights are on the agenda, but smaller vehicles, like the artillery wagon, also get involved.
Volga is one of the more open maps where tanks are waiting to crush soldiers like me. If you enjoy sniping, you should take a closer look at this map. Weather changes, such as a heavy snowstorm, sometimes rob you of visibility..
Galicia is almost like Volga, just with a little less snow. This map is, in my opinion, way too open. While there are a few cover spots, you’re mostly easy prey for lurking snipers.
Lastly, there’s the map Lupkow Pass, which I have hardly played at all. This is because no one votes for this map after the round ends; somehow, the trip to the mountains seems to be one of the least popular. When I did find a suitable server, I looked for enemies who had set up camp somewhere in the mountains. My favorite is currently Zaryzin, I just love dense infantry battles. If you share this love with me, you should definitely check out this map. The map that impressed me the least is Galicia. It’s just too open and there aren’t enough cover options. The fact that about 60% of the enemy team plays as snipers doesn’t make it any better.
The Weapons – Something for Everyone
I was more excited about the weapons than the maps. This has been the case in every Battlefield expansion so far. 11 new guns are waiting to be extensively played by you. However, you first have to unlock them by completing small tasks. Some of these tasks can drive you to frustration.
For example: To unlock the Mosin Nagant M91 bolt-action rifle, you need to achieve 15 kills with the tripwire bomb. If one eventually runs into my trap, they usually don’t die! It can sometimes take a few hours to successfully complete such a task. Little tip: Go on a hardcore server; soldiers there have less health and ideally die right in your deployed net. From submachine guns to heavy rifles, every type of weapon is represented. If you prefer close combat and want to burn through ammo, you should try the SMG 08/18. This submachine gun is similar to the MP-18 but has a larger magazine. However, I felt that you need a bit more rounds to take down a soldier. One weapon I also liked is the so-called Obrez pistol. When applied correctly, this piece is a real beast and can send enemies to the afterlife with just one shot, if you’re lucky.
The New Mode – For a Quick Round
With the latest update, a new mode was also introduced: “Supply Drop.” Here, boxes are dropped from the sky that you need to capture quickly after they land. What I notice: You have to stand really close to the boxes to capture them. While soldiers stand by the box, they generate points. At 500 points, it’s over, and the respective team wins. After a certain period, a second crate lands, and at the latest now, soldiers must split up. The crates only give a certain number of points and then disappear, but as a thank you, they leave us an elite class. Supply Drop plays out fairly quickly, and if you enjoy infantry action, you should be very well satisfied here. What annoys me: Since you have to get so close to the crates, you become an optimal target for mortars.
Specializations, Assignments, and a New Army
With the BF1 DLC “In the Name of the Tsar,” new specializations are also included, as you already know from older Battlefield games. At the start, you already have 3 of these specializations:
Flak: You take less explosive damage
Cover: Incoming suppression is reduced
Fast Regeneration: Auto-regeneration outside of combat occurs faster
You need to unlock the rest through assignments, and it takes a while to complete all these small missions. However, it’s definitely worth completing these missions, even if some tasks present true challenges. I am currently stuck on the assignment “Storming the Gates” and still need to take out a few soldiers with dynamite. Sounds easy, but it’s not. Most of the time, you hope for luck that a confused player walks right into my explosives.
If you want to level up, you should take a closer look at the “First Steps” assignments category. Here you can earn up to 50,000 XP upon completion. “In the Name of the Tsar” integrates the Russian Army into the shooter, alongside new weapons and maps. Here, DICE takes a step forward and allows female characters to participate in the war. In the Women’s Battalion of Death, you get to play as a soldier in the role of a scout.
New Expansion, Old Weaknesses
First of all, I find that “In the Name of the Tsar” offers a wide range of content. Nevertheless, there are still some things that annoy me. One would be the almost non-existent auto-balance on the official servers.
While you can’t switch teams with a large player difference, players still gradually leave the servers, and balance should actually intervene and switch players to the other team for fairness. I have often found myself in situations where suddenly there were 5 too many players on one team, and you can definitely feel that on the battlefield. Another point is the medics. Somehow many players play this class, but they are more or less unwilling to help fallen allies. Maybe DICE should raise the points for reviving to make it a bit more appealing.
Conclusion: Is “In the Name of the Tsar” Worth It?
The expansion offers a lot compared to older DLCs. Just the fact that besides the 6 maps, there are a total of 11 new guns waiting for you makes “In the Name of the Tsar” the largest expansion yet in Battlefield. The new maps play out quite smoothly, although some are really too open for my taste.
Then there’s the pile of weapons, and it takes some time to unlock them all. For 14.99 Euros, I can highly recommend the expansion. If you haven’t purchased the main game yet, you should look for the “Revolution Edition,” which gives you access to all expansions alongside BF1.
If you do not own the Premium Pass and want to purchase the expansion separately, you’ll have to wait until September 19th.
In Oberhausen, the Pokémon are currently having a blast. Hordes of Icognito, Kangama, and other rare monsters from Pokémon GO are besieging the city. The new Icognito form a special event theme.
Today, the Safari Zone in Oberhausen started, offering trainers on-site masses of rare Pokémon. Not only in the shopping center but also in the larger surrounding area of the city, trainers can encounter Kangama and others. As Centro writes on Facebook, rare Pokémon are also expected to be found in Duisburg, Dinslaken, Bottrop, and parts of Mülheim.
Unlike the last Safari event, the Icognito are not forming the letters E-U-R-O-P but rather “Safari”.
Safari Zone in Oberhausen on 16.9.2017
The Safari Zone event in Oberhausen has finally started today, which trainers have been looking forward to for a long time. Trainers with tickets for the event receive trainer kits with wristbands, a map, a QR code, and a paper Pikachu hat.

Additionally, there is a stylish in-game medal for trainers who visit the event in Oberhausen, Paris, or Barcelona with a ticket. A Reddit user named SmokerKing92 posted a screenshot of it:
But not only trainers with tickets can experience something in Oberhausen. As the official Pokémon GO account confirms on Facebook, you can expect rare monsters outside of the event as well. The following monsters are confirmed:
Chaneira
Kangama
Larvitar
A look at the GOMap shows that the developers are not overpromising. Hordes of monsters are just waiting to be caught:
Besides Icognito and Kangama, you also see many Voltilamm appearing in the “wild” of Oberhausen. Trainers also report an increased presence of starter Pokémon.
Special Icognito form “Safari”
A few weeks ago, a similar event took place in Europe. Many rare monsters like Kangama and Icognito appeared in many German cities. During the Europe event, the Icognito formed the word “Europe”.
In today’s Safari events in Barcelona, Paris, and Oberhausen, Icognito with the letters S,A,F,R,I can be found, ultimately forming the term “Safari”. Initially, it was thought that the Icognito would stand for “Safari Zone”, but these reports turned out to be false.

Are you in Oberhausen or want to connect with other trainers there? In our Pokémon GO Facebook group pictures are already being actively shared. The Safari Zone in Oberhausen ends today, on 16.09., at 8:00 PM.
In Warframe (PC, PS4, Xbox One) it’s still going strong in 2017. Now more of “Plains of Eidolon” is being revealed, the major MMO expansion for the lobby shooter.
Warframe is a lobby shooter where players zip through tight corridors as Space Ninjas, jumping, shooting, and dodging. Since 2013, more and more shooter fans have been donning their Warframes, those martial-futuristic exoskeletons, to take on the universe.
Even though the free-to-play game has grown larger and more popular over the years, the core principle hasn’t changed: Warframe? These are individual, clearly separated missions.
Fans were amazed when it became clear at the in-house convention Tennocon: We’re getting an Open World.
Everyone is waiting for “Plains of Eidolon”, the experimental update for Warframe
We extensively reported on the presentation in July and praised the developer for the outstanding presentation with a surprise factor. However, it has been relatively quiet about the expansion lately.
Yesterday there was another presentation with a live developer stream, trailer, and a developer Q&A session.
New gameplay from the massive update
This second teaser trailer for “Plains of Eidolon” has been released:

The main information that Warframe fans can gather from all this is: Plains of Eidolon is still planned for Autumn 2017 and it should truly be as fans imagine it. An expansion that takes Warframe a significant step forward.
In Destiny 2, the Trials of the Nine are live! What new features are there in this PvP activity? What weapons and armor pieces can you win? How do I achieve “Flawless”?
On September 15, 2017, the first Trials in the history of Destiny 2 began. After the “Trials of Osiris” came to an end in Destiny 1 in mid-August, the Trials return in the sequel as the “Trials of the Nine”.
Now, there have been several changes to this endgame PvP activity. We summarize all the information about the Trials of the Nine.
The logo of the Trials of the Nine
These are the Trials of the Nine in Destiny 2 – Everything you need to know about the PvP event
The Trials of the Nine represent a weekly Crucible PvP event where unique rewards can be earned. This event starts every Friday at 7 PM and ends on Tuesdays at 11 AM (summer time).
Access Requirements for the Trials
You must meet these requirements in order to participate in the Trials:
Complete the story campaign
Master the “Call to Arms” milestone at least once
Have at least Power Level 260
Ticket, fireteam size, map, game modes – All new features and information about the Trials
Once the Trials event is live, you can start it via the navigator. You will find it in the Crucible overview:
The “Trials Ticket”, which shows your progress, can be viewed in the navigator above the Trials symbol. It costs nothing.
Players who achieve consecutive victories receive more Trials rewards.
Defeats only count on a ticket after you have achieved the first victory.
If you have three defeats on a ticket, you must start over. The ticket will be reset.
The new Trials Ticket
All Trials of the Nine matches are played in 4v4. You must organize the fireteam yourself.
The game modes are always Countdown and Survival in weekly rotation.
For each event, only one Crucible map is available. This map changes weekly.
Trials of the Nine is a “locked-loadout playlist.” This means you cannot change your weapons and armor pieces until you exit the playlist.
Level advantages are disabled.
Before the start of a match, all Guardians are introduced with their loadouts (focus, weapons, armor pieces). The Glass Guardian!
There is a new announcer in the Trials: A woman – “The Emissary”.
In each match, you must win 6 rounds. Then you have won a match.
Revives are limited. You can only be revived by teammates.
How do I achieve “Flawless” in the Trials? – Flawless, new social space, rewards
The main goal of the Trials is: A Flawless Ticket.
To achieve “Flawless”, you must fill your ticket with 7 victories. There must not be any defeats on the ticket. In other words: You need 7 consecutive victories. There are no items like in the Trials of Osiris that can remove a defeat or grant a victory.
Your rewards for the Trials are obtained in a new social space called “The Third Pillar”. Access to this place is only granted after you have won your first Trials match. The Emissary is located there:
The new social space
The Emissary
There are four reward tiers in the Trials:
After each match, you receive items and “Trials of the Nine” tokens.
The Emissary has a reputation system. Redeem tokens with her and receive Trials Engrams.
If you achieve multiple victories per ticket, jumping platforms in the social space will be activated. These will transport you to additional emissaries. They have extra rewards for you. From 3, 5, and 7 victories, you can collect your rewards. Important: You can also receive the reward for 7 victories without achieving “Flawless”.
If you achieve “Flawless”, meaning 7 victories without a defeat, you will receive an additional reward. You can then jump to the top of the tower and be absorbed into another dimension. Here you will find a huge head of the Emissary of the Nine (see our title image). There, you can choose between two rewards.

These are the weapons available from the engrams – however, you can also earn additional Trials weapons:
The hand cannon is called Judgment. When you slide, the weapon’s magazine is partially loaded and range and stability are improved for a short time (the slide perk can also be replaced by another perk):
The pulse rifle is called Relentless. The slide perk causes the magazine of the weapon to be partially loaded by sliding, and handling and stability are improved for a short time.
The scout rifle is called The End and looks like a sniper. The slide perk is the same as the pulse rifle (handling and stability):
The shotgun is called “A Sudden Death“. The slide perk is the same as that of the hand cannon (range and stability):
The sniper is called “The Long Walk” and has the slide perk that temporarily increases range and stability as well as partially refills the magazine:
The pistol is called “A Swift Verdict” and also has the slide perk for range and stability:
Additionally, there is a submachine gun called Adjudicator. The slide perk increases handling and stability:
This is the design of the Trials armor pieces:
In addition to the gear, you can earn emblems, shaders, Legendary Shards, and auras in the Trials. The engrams can also contain exotic items.
Note: This is not a complete list of all items available in the Trials.
You can view an “engram opening” and more Trials items here:

The first MOBA for the Switch comes from Tencent and is called Arena of Valor. You won’t miss out on familiar features. The game became known after the Chinese government had to intervene because kids in China became addicted to it.
In August, the mobile MOBA “Arena of Valor” launched in Europe. On your smartphones and tablets, you can play 1v1, 3v3, and 5v5 against other players. You have a large selection of different heroes from tanks to supporters.
Now the release on the next platform, the Nintendo Switch, is imminent.
Arena of Valor for Nintendo Switch
In winter 2017, the beta test version of Arena of Valor is expected to be available for free. There is no exact date for this yet. For MOBA fans, this might be the chance to try an addition to the PC experience.
You won’t miss the classic role distribution of a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) in Arena of Valor, as there are tanks, assassins, mages, marksmen, and supporters available. Currently, there are over 45 different heroes in the game – even Batman is included!
Fight alone or team up with friends against other players in real-time battles.
As game modes, you can choose the classic 5v5 mode that you already know from other MOBAs. There you split into the top, mid, and bot lanes and optionally go into the jungle. A game usually lasts 12-18 minutes.
If you are looking for a faster match, choose the 3v3 mode. Here, all six players meet on one lane and hit each other. Usually, the winner is determined after 4-6 minutes.
Do you want to measure your skills directly against other players? Then go for 1v1! Here, you can showcase your personal MOBA strength without being boosted by a team that can compensate for any mistakes.
In the “Hook War” mode, you will learn about another fun aspect of AOV, where you must pull opponents into ruin.

Arena of Valor is the unofficial “Mobile” version of LoL. In China, the title made the youth of the country go crazy under the name “Kings of Glory”, leading the government to take measures to restrict playtime. The hype in China has gone so far that parents have even named their child after the game.
The Heroes of the Storm Global Championship is in full swing, and Blizzard is taking advantage of the current hype to announce more Overwatch content for Heroes of the Storm. Two new heroes, a new map, new skins, and mounts await us!

After the last two heroes from the Overwatch universe, Genji and D.Va, Blizzard has made significant changes, and each of the existing universes is being addressed. A new Overwatch hero was quite likely, and surprisingly, two are joining. The roster will include the long-range healer Ana and the demolitions expert Junkrat.
The exact abilities and talents are unfortunately not yet known. However, looking at the counterparts from the hero shooter, some characteristic abilities can at least be inferred. Ana will likely be equipped with a Sleep Dart and Biotic Grenade, while Junkrat will almost certainly have Mines and his Kamikaze Tire. Whether the skills will change as significantly as with D.Va’s hero variant remains to be seen.
Ana will already appear in the Volskaya patch along with the new map, while Junkrat will join the Nexus a bit later.
New Map: Volskaya Foundry
In addition to the two new characters, more from Overwatch is coming to Heroes of the Storm. The map “Volskaya Industries” will be integrated into the MOBA in the form of “Volskaya Foundry.” The factory set in Russia will be a medium-sized map with three lanes and a map mechanic that is derived similarly to Hanamura from Overwatch.
At certain time intervals, control points will be activated at the top end, bottom end, or centrally on the map. The teams will fight for dominance over the three points, comparable to Braxis Holdout. The difference is that, just as with control point maps in the shooter, a point can only be brought to 100% if no opponents are in the area to defend it.

If a team gains control over a point, a huge Triglav Protector is summoned, which must be controlled by two players: one for movement and melee, the other for attacks with the weapon systems. The player who enters first has access to movement and the control and siege attacks with the fist. The second player can decimate opponents with the massive cannon.
Another feature of the map, which does not directly belong to the mechanics, is conveyor belts reminiscent of airports. The belts lead in one direction and accelerate movement in the same direction while stopping characters who are moving against the flow.
Skins and Mounts
No patch without cosmetics. To not only lighten the mood but also the wallets of players a bit, new skins for Varian and D.Va as well as two new mounts will be released around the Volskaya patch.
Destroyer D.Va
Commander Varian
Celestial Raptor
Invisible Horse
WHEN exactly the Volskaya patch will be deployed is still unknown. However, since Blizzard is known to tease such things only shortly before, we assume that the update will reach the PTR within the next two to three weeks.
Xur has appeared for the first time in Destiny 2. He brings the Merciless – an exotic fusion rifle. Is it worth buying?
Three years ago, Xur first appeared in Destiny. However, in the early days, no one really knew what to make of him. What were the yellow items? And is what he sells even good? In the first week, Xur sold the Red Death – a long time truly fantastic pulse rifle.
And in the second week? There, Xur appeared with the Gjallarhorn. Now a legend, Guardians doubted the usefulness of an exotic weapon in the Heavy slot. Primary and special weapons were considered much more attractive. That the Gjallarhorn would become the most coveted weapon in year 1 of Destiny was something no one thought at the time. It wasn’t until later that the realization struck: “I should have bought that weapon from Xur back then!”
Merciless – This week on offer at Xur
Even though the big secret around Xur is no longer such a big deal, Guardians still look closely, what Xur has to offer and whether it’s useful. And regarding the weapon Merciless – a fusion rifle – it’s worth a second look. We will tell you why!
The weapon comes with a large magazine of 8 rounds and a reload time of 900. The best part about this fusion rifle is the intrinsic perk:
Movement Conservation – On non-lethal hits, the weapon reloads faster until the player gets a kill.
This means: The weapon is a boss killer.
Furthermore, the weapon has the perk Impetus – Reloading immediately after a kill temporarily increases damage.
When you are in a boss fight, you kill a minor enemy with the fusion rifle, reload, and then unleash everything on the boss. The magazine may empty quickly, but you will have dealt a significant amount of damage.
The Gjallarhorn – a legend in the world of Destiny
The major downside of the weapon is the slot it occupies. Power ammo is scarce. Therefore, this weapon does not offer infinite damage potential.
Probably, the Merciless will not reach the cult status of the Gjallarhorn. Bungie won’t allow such an overpowered weapon again. But if the past has taught us anything: The weapons Xur brings in the first weeks are definitely worth buying! They might still become legends.
In short: If you’re looking for a weapon that can quickly take down bosses, you’ll enjoy using the Merciless! Get it. The weapon costs 29 Legendary Shards.
Have you already made a purchase from Xur?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.

Patch 2.6.1 in Diablo 3 significantly adjusts the balance. Many more sets should fit into the meta and provide enjoyment. Blizzard explains what changes await you.
The balancing in Diablo 3 has had weaknesses for a long time. In recent seasons, we have seen more and more that the builds for the meta, to play at the top, were limited. The new Patch 2.6.1 is supposed to open many new doors in this area.
Blizzard gives more love to the weaker sets.
More power for Whirlwind, Frozen Orb, and more
Testing for balancing in Patch 2.6.1 is already completed on the PTR servers. Now, they are only focused on fixing issues like game crashes. Until everything is sorted out, we have to wait for the new update on the live servers.
In the update, Blizzard listened to feedback and set two main goals:
All classes should be able to compete with different builds and playstyles in similar difficulty levels.
The experience should be overall more balanced at higher levels.
The developers aim to achieve the diversity of sets through many variations of builds. For a balanced experience, builds should be playable well both in dense mob masses and in groups.
With these goals in mind, they are focusing on old favorites such as Whirlwind, Frozen Orb, or Exploding Hand builds that are particularly suited for changes.
The hard path of balance
In the major balance patch 2.6.1, the developers did not align all builds “in line”, but that wouldn’t be a bad thing. “Some builds are just fun and are rather a springboard for higher difficulty levels or for farming. Such builds are also important and not every build is suitable for every task.”
You can look forward to the following changes in the new Patch 2.6.1 when it appears on the live servers of Diablo 3.
Barbarians
The developers have had the Whirlwind Barbarian in their sights for a long time. From previous buffs to defensive adjustments to the 4-piece soul bonus and Band of Might, players wanted more survivability. “Let’s spin to victory in the name of Bul-Kathos!”
Wizards
Halo of Karini is described as effective, “but unwieldy”. The buff is supposed to be more usable with the patch. You won’t have to wait as long between uses.
Additionally, other playstyles for the wizard will be strengthened so that Archon no longer stands alone at the top.
Necromancers
With Dayntee’s Binding, the developers have generally been satisfied, but the curses have rarely been useful. The affix for this item will now be opened for all curses, significantly increasing its usability – especially in groups with multiple necromancers.
Witches
As a dot doctor, you have been “so-so” with the Jade set. Additional defensive bonuses should soon provide more stability for the set.
Good news also comes for Demon Hunters, Monks, and Crusaders. The developers expect that in the new patch the skills Multi-Shot, Exploding Hand and Blessed Shield will be used much more often.
The patch aims for stronger balancing but does not target the strong sets. They did not want to weaken the overpowering sets but rather bring more sets up to speed. This way, many iconic sets and playstyles should become popular again.
When is Diablo 3 Patch 2.6.1 Release?
The developers did not mention a specific release date in the blog post. They explained that there will be no further class changes, but they will focus on bugs and performance issues.
We are making no further changes and instead focusing on bugs and performance issues to put the necessary finishing touches on the patch before release. This could take some time, so at some point no new changes should be added.
How do you like the announcement for the new patch? Do you have any builds you would like to play in the meta?
Today, September 15th, marks the beginning of the first Trials of the Nine in Destiny 2. On which map will it be played? What is the game mode? And what do I need to know about the new trials?
Today, Friday at 7 PM, the first Trials of the Nine in Destiny 2 will begin. These represent a hardcore PvP mode, in which there are expected to be powerful items to win.
In Destiny 1, these trials were called “Trials of Osiris“. You had to achieve multiple consecutive victories to earn the rewards. A journey to the Lighthouse, where the best loot was found, could only be won with a “flawless ticket”. For that, you needed 9 wins and could not have a loss on the ticket.
In fact, very little is known about this activity just before the launch of the “Trials of the Nine”. The new trials will take place on several maps in different game modes (both change weekly), they will be played in 4v4, and according to data mining, a woman with a creepy voice will be the announcer.
All further information will be released today starting at 7 PM. We will cover the launch of the trials live and update this article.
Possible spoilers ahead!

According to an infographic from Bungie, this is the map and the game mode:
Map: Eternity
Game Mode: Countdown
Start: September 15th at 7 PM
End: Expected to be September 19th at 11 AM
Update: 7:05 PM: The Guardians are looking for the trials. Apparently, you must complete the “Call to Arms” milestone to receive the “Trials of the Nine” milestone. The loadout is locked. During the matches, you cannot change items. Level advantages are disabled. You do not need a “ticket”. There are 10 slots. Presumably 7 slots for victories and 3 slots for defeats. These will be displayed above the trials symbol in the Crucible.
Update 7:20 PM: Bungie announces the access requirements: You must have completed the campaign, mastered the “Call to Arms” milestone at least once, and have at least 260 Power.
Update 7:27 PM:
Before a match, all opponents will be presented with their loadouts, so everyone knows what the others are playing.
The “Herald” will speak to you.
You need 6 round victories to win a match. As a reward, there are “Trials of the Nine” tokens among others.
In the Crucible, after a victory, there is a new place you can choose above the trials symbol. “The Third Pillar: Unknown Room”. The Herald welcomes you there. Here you can hand in the tokens:
Last night, Bungie teased the Trials of the Nine with a short video. We have embedded it above. It shows three circles forming the new logo for the trials.
This logo corresponds to the Destiny 2 trophy symbol for “So You Don’t Get Judged“. The requirement is: Make acquaintance with a Herald from beyond. This foreigner will likely be met through the trials. It might be the shadow figure briefly seen in the above video:
Now Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is being released as a free-to-play version in China. They celebrate the release with illuminated buildings.
The online gaming scene in China is vast and appreciates the release of a game. They particularly celebrate a game that has already established itself in other countries for years and is now being released for free in China.
The free-to-play model of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is being warmly welcomed in China – and everyone should see that!
Illuminated skyscrapers say “I AM READY”
The shooter CS:GO is one of the most popular eSports titles and is now being offered for free in China. At least six cities have turned on the promotional lights and are welcoming the game there. The lights can be seen in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Nanjing.
According to translations on Twitter, the message on the buildings says “I’m ready”.
It is speculated that the launch of a F2P version will provide competition to “Crossfire”. The shooter Crossfire is very popular worldwide with over 650 million players (according to the developers) and is likely hard to displace. Crossfire is considered the Chinese answer to Counter Strike.
The launch of CS:GO in China is being handled by the publisher Perfect World, which has previously collaborated with Valve to release the Chinese version of Dota 2.
The special thing about this is: CS:GO will run in China via the Perfect World launcher. Yes, you read that right. The Valve game will be launched via a different launcher than Steam. Somewhat a strange concept, right?
Even pets are subject to strict guidelines at Blizzard. Without a paw print on the NDA, animals cannot enter the premises.
If you’ve played Blizzard games, you’ve likely felt the studio’s love for animals. In World of Warcraft, there are plenty of pets and even a dedicated combat and collection system for them.
This love for animal companions is no accident. Pets are also firmly integrated into the daily lives of Blizzard developers.
However, to ensure that things proceed at least somewhat smoothly (how that can happen with cats is a mystery to me), there are a few clear guidelines for all pets brought onto the company grounds.
All animals must be registered beforehand and can only be in environments appropriate for them. Additionally, animals may only be near employees who are comfortable with them. The kitchen areas and the café are also off-limits.
In total, there are more than 750 registered pets at Blizzard, and nearly half of them visit regularly. 700 of the animals are dogs, 36 are cats, 5 are rabbits, four aquariums with fish, and one turtle.
Pets Must Also Remain Discreet
Particularly amusing: Paw prints are also required on a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) from four-legged friends to ensure they don’t spill Blizzard secrets. Or bark. Or meow.
Additionally, pets receive a specific tag when they are registered – one can choose between Horde and Alliance. However, it seems that most developers prefer the Horde, as 462 have a Horde tag and only 289 pets have an Alliance tag.

Apparently, people want to harm Star Citizen and are inventing scandalous stories. It’s unfortunate when it quickly turns out to be a hoax.
There is a subreddit for Star Citizen where the game’s fans gather. There is also a subreddit where disappointed former backers hang out: It’s called “Star Citizen Refunds” and deals with players who want their money back from the crowdfunding wonder Star Citizen.
$45,000 Refund Kickstarts Space Dust
A post circulated claiming that a guild wanted a total of $45,000 (about €37,500) back. This would have been the largest refund in gaming history. It was about 3 “Completionist” packages at $15,000 each, which is a substantial amount of money.
This huge refund request was also supported by screenshots of the refund process. It was said that the refund process had been difficult. The company behind Star Citizen, CIG, had prolonged it. One had to wait 5 weeks for the money. They wanted the money back, not because of the delay, but because of the many lies.
The information from the reddit thread made its way to Ars Technica, a major site that subsequently critically examined Star Citizen: long development time, feature overload, high backer amounts.
Press Apologizes, Derek Smart Complains
When the story was published, a representative of “Star Citizen” contacted the site and said: That was a fake. There was indeed a refund, but it was not over $45,000, but only $300 (about €250).
There also wasn’t any discussion about whether the money would be returned; it was transferred without hesitation.
At Ars Technica, they apologize for the story. The Redditor has since deleted his account.
The unofficial leader of the “Anti-Star-Citizen” faction, game developer Derek Smart, sees it all as a fabrication by Star Citizen to silence backers. The player probably feared angry reactions now that the story became so big and therefore deleted his account.
For him, CIG, the company behind Star Citizen, is a bunch of lying bastards. For him, this is not a fake.

The Crucible of Destiny 2 is still in exploration mode – the best weapons in PvP are being sought. We want to know from you: With which weapons are you dominating?
In Destiny 2, it’s all about the firepower of the Guardians. Many players are currently looking for and trying out the best weapons for their respective content. With this article, we want to take a first look at the Crucible and see what weapons the Guardians prefer to use against each other.
For this, we will introduce some very popular gems before you are asked!
Is there a first “Crucible Meta”?
No, it is still too early for that. However, there are clear parallels to the launch of Destiny 1. Auto rifles are incredibly strong – some representatives even outside their intended range.
This is because the Crucible is heavily influenced by team fights, with fewer 1v1 encounters happening. In team battles, spray weapons like auto rifles are excellent.
Even at longer ranges, initial favorites are emerging. Scout rifles are very effective at long distances. For medium range, hand cannons should feel very good, but they are currently outperformed by auto rifles. Pulse rifles and pistols are only competitive in certain situations.
Submachine guns are also strong and are excellent for pushing weakened opponents.
With power weapons, tastes vary greatly, which certainly brings some variety to the mix. There isn’t a clear “meta” here, many power weapons feel good and powerful, only grenade launchers are currently not as strong and therefore chosen less often.
Auto Rifles – Lasers and Peashooters
Auto rifles are currently popular, whether equipped in the kinetic or energy slot. With the sometimes large magazines, players can fire at enemy groups for a long time. Furthermore, they are easy to handle, with the recoil being easy to control. We present two of the most popular auto rifles.
Origin Story
Origin Story is an auto rifle of the Vanguard and is equipped in the kinetic slot. Its specific perk is Precision, when firing, the weapon pulls vertically, meaning more upwards and less to the side, making the weapon easier to handle.
The legendary auto rifle Origin Story
Additionally, the weapon offers the perk “Rampage”, which is valuable in both PvE and PvP. With kills, the damage of the weapon increases, and this effect can stack up to three times.
The magazine holds 32 rounds, and the weapon’s range is superb. With the vertical recoil behavior, recoil is easily controlled, and you have a real beast in your hands. Try it out, you will be pleasantly surprised!
Uriel’s Gift
If your kinetic slot is already occupied, but you still want to have an auto rifle at hand, try Uriel’s Gift. The weapon is similar to Origin Story. It also features the perk “Precision”, which makes the recoil behavior vertical.
The legendary auto rifle Uriel’s Gift
The special perk of the weapon ensures that you have increased stability and weapon handling immediately after pulling the trigger, which is particularly useful in PvP. The weapon has 33 rounds and is an absolute laser. You shouldn’t have any trouble landing headshots.
Scout rifles are effective at long range and score with good stability and large magazines. At longer distances, you can avoid the spray weapons auto rifles and submachine guns.
Unfortunately, the design of the Crucible maps is set up in such a way that the action takes place in tighter spaces, which means that scout rifles showcase their strengths less often than in the predecessor but are still extremely deadly with proper and strategic positioning.
MIDA Multi-Tool
There is no way around them. The MIDA Multi-Tool can be obtained relatively easily through an exotic quest and also drops at a relatively high power level. It grants radar while aiming and increases movement speed. Paired with the submachine gun MIDA Mini-Tool, you hold an absolutely deadly combo in your hands.
The MIDA Multi-Tool – the best scout rifle in Destiny 2?
Hand cannons have a hard time in Destiny 2. In their optimal range, auto rifles dominate, while submachine guns shred them at shorter distances, and at longer ranges, the damage is simply insufficient.
Yet, skilled players can still get a lot out of hand cannons. Precise shots are rewarded. We present two decent representatives.
Better Devils
Better Devils – this weapon is a homage to the known evil, in English known as “The Devil you know”.
It is a hand cannon in the kinetic slot with a rate of fire of 140 rounds. Its special perk is “Explosive Payload”, which corresponds to explosive rounds in Destiny 1 and shakes the enemy’s aim considerably. Additionally, the weapon deals area damage, which is a nice side effect in groups of enemies.
The legendary hand cannon “Better Devils”
If you enjoyed using hand cannons in Destiny 1, you will likely have fun with this weapon. Better Devils is currently one of the best legendary hand cannons in the game!
The Old Fashioned
The weapon is not only named that, but looks that way as well. It feels heavy and hefty, and deals out significant damage. It is equipped in the kinetic slot.
The Old Fashioned – Wild West in Destiny 2
Additionally, the other stats of the weapon like range, stability, and handling are very good. Even the reload speed can be enhanced. As a special perk, the Old Fashioned has the so-called Kill Clip. Reloading after a kill grants bonus damage (Reactive Reload in Destiny 1).
If you’ve always wanted to feel like a cowboy, you’ll have fun with the Old Fashioned.
Similar to hand cannons, pulse rifles currently have no real place in the meta, as they compete with other weapon types at their optimal range. Pulse rifles also have the issue that they are among the slowest to kill, even if all shots hit.
Nevertheless, there are some fantastic representatives of this weapon class that we don’t want to overlook.
Nightshade
The star among pulse rifles. Its lightweight frame offers strong handling, and Guardians can move faster when the weapon is equipped. Stability and handling are top-notch, and the perk Kill Clip provides more damage if you reload right after a kill.
The legendary pulse rifle Nightshade
There isn’t much more to say about the weapon; it feels great and shoots very precisely even at longer distances. Additionally, the reload speed is very high.
Nergal PR4
The Nergal PR4 is the alternative to Nightshade for the energy slot. It is similar to Nightshade, with the intrinsic perk being identical (perfect handling, faster movement speed).
The legendary pulse rifle Nergal PR4
Additionally, this weapon offers full auto! Pull the trigger and watch the damage numbers. If you want to equip a pulse rifle in the energy slot, the Nergal PR4 is a solid choice.
To obtain the legendary weapons, you have to hope for random drops.
Now it’s your turn! Post your favorites for the Crucible in the comments!
Even professionals make mistakes in Hearthstone. When panic sets in, chaos quickly ensues.
Those who have watched some Hearthstone matches from professionals on Twitch will know the outrage in the chat when someone makes a small mistake. These “misplays” are always immediately met with mockery and ridicule. But sometimes it is not just a small mistake – it can lead to a long chain of unconsidered moves.
Last week, the Dreamhack Montreal Hearthstone Grand Prix took place and featured a match between CoachTwisted and Walaoumpa. In what had been a well-played match up to that point, CoachTwisted solidified his lead. He failed to give Anduin his Death Knight form, and along with Raza and Lyra, he had already created a deadly combination that allowed him to use his hero power for free after each spell.
But then panic breaks out – the opponent played Nozdormu. This gives each player only 15 seconds for their turn. The tunnel vision leads CoachTwisted to damage Nozdormu with a hero power and then even heal him again with Circle of Healing, thereby ruining the trade. A typical beginner’s mistake that can happen in a moment of panic.

This mistake is not the only one. CoachTwisted still has a massive advantage afterwards and could win the game relatively quickly if he simply played his cards and attacked. But he does not. Instead, he decides to remove the enemy minions from the board at all costs and makes numerous mistakes in the process. Spells fizzle out without effect, he draws too many cards, and wastes a lot of resources on something he actually does not need.
