At Destiny, you can find information about the ornaments. Soon, it should be possible to buy them individually – at any time.
With “Rise of Iron”, the ornaments were introduced, an evolution of the chromatic system, which allows you to influence the appearance of your weapons and armor pieces. They are purely cosmetic items, of which Bungie is gradually introducing more into the game.
The ornaments have often been at the center of heated discussions: The fastest way to obtain them is, by far, to open your wallet. At Tess Everis, you can purchase Radiant Treasures, which contain random ornaments. So, if you want a specific ornament, you not only have to spend money but also rely on luck.
With the upcoming “The Dawning” event, this is supposed to change. The randomness will be taken out of the equation.
Do you like the ornament? Then buy it directly at the kiosk.
A kiosk for the ornaments
In an interview with IGN, executive producer Scott Taylor talks about upcoming innovations in the Eververse and with the ornaments. Tess Everis will bring “a lot of new stuff”. It is already known that she will offer “Treasures of the Dawning”, which contain cosmetic items, new ornaments, and this armor:
Furthermore, Taylor shares that there will be a new kiosk: dedicated to ornaments only. Bungie has heard the community’s requests for a way to purchase just the ornament they really want. Therefore, with “The Dawning”, an ornaments kiosk will be set up right next to the store, where you can select and buy the desired ornaments directly.
What will happen to Xur’s ornaments?
For 25 Silver Dust each, you can purchase random ornaments from Xur on the weekends. A statement from a PlanetDestiny podcaster circulating on reddit claims to have received the following information directly from Activision:
Xur will no longer sell ornaments with “The Dawning”. In the new kiosk, all ornaments will henceforth be available for 25 Silver Dust. The price is expected to remain unchanged – regardless of whether you already own the ornament or not.
Note: The information about Xur is not officially confirmed.
In The Division, we present a tool that provides you with detailed information about skills. With it, you can easily and quickly create build plans.
Just a few hours ago, Massive pointed out a new skill calculator created by fans. According to Massive, this is a great tool that allows you to plan amazing builds.
Since updates 1.4 and 1.5, there is more selection to create powerful character setups in the endgame. Many agents like to check: “What have others done? Can I learn something from them? How do I replicate this build?”
The skill calculator from “Division-Zone” is designed to make it easier for you to create builds yourself.
The most interesting feature of this tool: You can enter skill power and the “Skill Haste” bonus and immediately see how it affects the attributes of the skills.
For example, select First Aid with the Defibrillator mod and set the skill power to 200,000 in the top right. The cooldown is now 22.51 seconds. If you set the skill power to 250,000, a cooldown of 17.25 seconds is indicated. This allows you to see how skill power influences the attributes of all skills.
By the way: It is also possible to share the created setup. The tool will automatically generate a link for you.
However: You can only view, combine, and calculate skills, talents, and perks. Other aspects, such as weapons and gear sets, are not taken into account by the tool.
A new system software update is available for the PS4.
Today, on December 8th, Sony released an unannounced update for the PlayStation 4. This patch is version 4.07 and can be downloaded and installed immediately. The download size is 312 MB.
What’s included in these 312 MB? The changelog is rather concise. This system software update improves system performance quality. In other words: a stability update.
You need to install the update to be able to play online again.
A law has been enacted in China making RNG Lockboxes more transparent.
“RNG Lockboxes” are a game mechanism found in online games. They appear in numerous variations and colors, carrying different names. In principle, they function like a gumball machine did in the past: You put in money and get something. But you don’t know what it is: Is it the grand prize you are hoping for, or do you get a consolation prize, a dud, a gumball?
Numerous online games use such “loot” boxes that players can purchase with real money. In some games, they can also be obtained through actual gameplay. In other games, the lockboxes are available for free, but keys must be purchased to open them.

Especially in Asian free-to-play games, such “RNG Lockboxes” are popular. They come from the “Pachinko” tradition – these are machines that work mechanically based on such a “luck principle”.
But Western games also rely on such mechanics. The Elder Scrolls Online recently introduced it. Games like Overwatch or League of Legends make a fortune from this. More and more games, even successful ones, are implementing these mechanisms retroactively.
YouTubers reach a huge audience with videos in which they open countless such boxes.

One could argue that games like FIFA 17 or Hearthstone depend on this mechanic. After all, players buy a “card pack” not knowing whether the grand prize or a dud is waiting for them.
China now forces video game publishers to disclose probabilities
The Ministry of Culture in China has now issued a rule requiring publishers of online games to swiftly publish accurate information about their virtual items and services, including names, probabilities, quantity, and content.
Probabilities should be displayed on their website or in-game. It should be clear what chance players have of obtaining which items from these mechanisms.
It will be interesting to see whether a similar law will come to the West. EA would then have to disclose the probability of obtaining a Ronaldo in a card pack.
The launch of Eternal Crusade on Steam was a while ago and received a rather “mediocre” response from many players. Some complain that the game is never “fully finished”, while others are happy with the development process in which they were more or less involved. In the latest “Q&A” round, the developers addressed the most pressing questions regarding the near future of the game.
Currently, there are often matches with 45 players in Eternal Crusade – however, 15 against 30. That isn’t particularly fair and is not much fun for those involved. This is a bug in the matchmaking system that will be fixed soon.
Moreover, players can look forward to a cooperative mode “in the near future”, where they will fight against PvE opponents. After all, Tyranids and other abominations are eager to be visited. At the same time, they are working on polishing the existing modes, which sometimes still feel clunky or unfair.
In typical “Eternal Crusade” fashion, not all questions are answered with full seriousness. Following the motto “better a humorous answer than no answer at all”, such statements also appeared in the FAQ:
“What kind of vehicle customization will there be? (Banners, sharp things for Chaos, glowing red things for Orks, etc.)”
The answer to that: “Yes!”
Or this request: “Please explain when you are working on the Manidblasters. The ‘Striking Scorpions’ are still not complete and that’s a bit embarrassing.”
“We are working on it as soon as the feature makes it onto our list of top priorities.”
If you are not happy with such responses, there is nothing that can be done for you. This is probably customer service in the 41st millennium.
From today, there is the new Battlepack Revision 8 for Battlefield 1. The skins and bonuses you can get in this Battlepack version are shown here.
Battlefield 1 offers you the choice of many different weapons that you can use in online battles. To give players more variety in weapons, you can equip your weapons with skins. This changes the appearance of the weapons in the game. You get the skins from Battlepacks, which you can either receive as a gift at the end of a round or purchase in the shop using scrap items or real money. Depending on the type of Battlepack, the costs (with scrap items) vary. More expensive Battlepacks have a higher chance of a rare skin. The contents of the Battlepacks change every Thursday.
Revision 8 Battlepack Contents (Version8)
This week there are new weapon skins in the Battlepacks again. This time, there are again 3 legendary weapon skins and 3 possible bonuses waiting for you. The legendary skins are:
Capone – 1903 Hammerless
Rattlesnake – Lewis Gun (light)
The German Emperor – Gewehr 98 (Infantry)
In addition, this week you have the chance to get various puzzle pieces and XP bonuses. As puzzle pieces, there is the Sawtooth Knife Puzzle Piece and the Bartek Club Puzzle Piece. With some luck, you can also receive the coveted Squad XP Boost. This increases the experience points gained for your entire squad. However, these bonuses only come very rarely as rewards from Battlepacks.
If you particularly like a skin and it might be for your favorite weapon, you can try your luck with this new Battlepack Version 8 . If you want to know more about the crates, we explain to you here the essentials about Battlepacks in Battlefield 1.
In the following image, you can see the Battlepack contents of this week at a glance.
Everyone who knows the movies knows that Star Wars hero Lando Calrissian is cool. But in the online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront, he has actually become unstoppable since the Rogue One: Scarif DLC!
On December 6th, the Rogue One: Scarif DLC was released for owners of a Season Pass for the online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront. Anyone playing as hero Lando Calrissian after the update quickly realizes that he has become the greatest hero in the galaxy. The DLC introduced a glitch that affects the “Power Blast” ability.
Lando single-handedly holds off the Empire!
This skill allows Lando to deal six times as much damage, with each shot directly aiming at the target. However, due to the glitch, there is no longer a cooldown period for this ability, allowing Lando to use this skill as a regular attack. As a result, he becomes a real fighting machine, plowing through enemy ranks. Battlefront expert Elliot Fältström explains that the Power Shot also deals more damage than before. Because of this, Lando is essentially unusable for fair play.
The developers at DICE are now aware of the problem and announced that they are working quickly on an update. So if you want to have a little more fun with superhero Lando Calrissian, you should hurry, as the fun could be over very soon. But always pay attention to fairness in online gameplay! You can watch a video showing how Lando cleans up among his enemies right here.

With these Pokémon, you have a good chance in an Arena attack in Pokémon GO. We show you the strongest Arena attackers and their best moves.
If you regularly take over Arenas in Pokémon GO, you may have noticed that some Pokémon are better suited for attacking than others. Just a few days ago, Niantic changed the CP values of many Pokémon. Due to the buffs and nerfs from these CP changes, there are now new Pokémon among the top Arena attackers. We show you the Pokémon best suited for taking over Arenas and which moves they should master.
Pokémon GO: The strongest Arena attackers
After the CP changes, research was done on which Pokémon are best suited as attackers for Arenas. This list from Gamepress shows which Pokémon were ranked the highest.
In the following list, we show you the Pokémon and their best moves from the different tiers.
Tier 1:
These Pokémon are a good choice to power up with Stardust. They are particularly strong Pokémon that have advantages against the usual Arena defenders.
Snorlax– Lick + Hyper Beam or Body Slam or
Zen Headbutt + Hyper Beam
Dragonite – Fire Breath + Dragon Claw
Vaporeon – Water Gun + Hydro Pump or Aqua Tail
Rhydon – Mud Slap + Stone Edge or Earthquake
Alakazam – Psychic Blade + Psychic
Tier 1.5:
These Pokémon are similarly strong as those from Tier 1. However, they have slightly more weaknesses, which is why they were downgraded to a half tier.
Gengar – Dark Claw + Sludge Bomb
Lapras – Ice Breath + Blizzard
Exeggutor – Zen Headbutt + Solar Beam
Gyarados – Bite + Hydro Pump or
Fire Breath + Hydro Pump or Dragon Pulse
Ampharos – Water Gun + Hydro Pump or
Stone Throw + Rock Slide
Tier 2:
With these Pokémon, you can specifically counter certain defenders. They are generally strong but cannot keep up with the top Pokémon from Tier 1 and Tier 1.5.
Swampert – Water Gun + Psychic
Golem – Mud Slap + Stone Edge or Earthquake
Venusaur – Razor Leaf + Solar Beam or Petal Blizzard
Tangela – Razor Leaf + Solar Beam
Starmie – Water Gun + Hydro Pump
Blastoise – Water Gun + Hydro Pump
Austos – Ice Breath + Ice Shard or Blizzard
Tier 3:
You should only use Stardust for these Pokémon if you can fill a specific gap and none of the Pokémon from the upper tiers are available.
In Destiny the Iron Banner is running in December. Guardians continue to report issues with lag.
Some of our users are already calling it “Lag Banner”: the December Iron Banner in the Rift mode.
The Crucible in Destiny becomes increasingly important during phases without new content for many Guardians, as PvE becomes less relevant, and it becomes clear how susceptible Destiny still is to “red connection bars” and lag. Even after more than two years, Bungie has not managed to control these issues. Although “connection quality” is supposedly the highest priority – Bungie keeps emphasizing this – Guardians are losing faith.
When you’re already losing and then feel disadvantaged, it leads to frustration. Although not all Guardians are affected by this phenomenon, the lag issue seems to plague many Destiny players here in Europe.
This gif on Reddit drew a lot of attention: “Flash has landed in Destiny,” it says.
Not only does the omnipresent lag ruin the Iron Banner for players. The matchmaking also causes problems. Facing pre-made teams while being matched with a group of complete strangers annoys many Guardians. Without any communication, they are at a disadvantage in the unfamiliar mode “Rift”. Teamwork is crucial here. While in “Control” most Guardians now know how to behave and understand each other “silently”, it is different in the football-like “Rift”.
This leads to one-sided matches and again, the matchmaking is criticized. One user complains on Reddit: If a match is ended by the mercy rule because one team is so far ahead, it doesn’t help if I have to face that team again in the next round.
Blizzard proves humor and surprises Overwatch fans with the posting of a Christmas “skin.” Unfortunately, not as hoped.
At Blizzard, outside of BlizzCon, one often feels that the developers or “Blues,” such as community managers or GameMasters, maintain a particularly stiff tone and have little time for pure humor or fun. However, the Twitter account of Overwatch likes to poke fun at its fans. After it was announced in the past few days that there would be a Christmas event for Overwatch starting December 13, wild speculations immediately sprang up.
On Twitter, the user wsxzelas asked if the team could tease the players with an image of one of the new skins. And Blizzard reacted. Just not in the way the fans expected.
Anyone who has always wanted to know the exact structure of the skin is now probably a bit wiser than before. Everyone else is half annoyed, half amused watching the screen. Ultimately, there seems to be nothing else to do but wait for the start of the event – because skins and game modes will probably not be tested on the test server beforehand. That would somehow ruin the surprise.
So far, several game data for the Christmas event have been read, such as a modified soundtrack with festive sounds. In any case, there will be a map variation of King’s Row that will be covered in snowfall. Additionally, there are initial hints of an “arena,” but there are no concrete ideas about what will happen there (perhaps a snowball fight?).
Today, on December 8th, maintenance is taking place for The Division. The servers will be offline for several hours.
On Thursdays, The Division is regularly maintained. The developers are working behind the scenes on the servers and occasionally deploy bug fixes to make the agents’ lives a little more enjoyable. Just like today.
The servers will be shut down at 9:30 AM. The downtime is expected to last about three hours. So around 12:30 PM you can play again.
What changes are coming today?
The changelog for today mentions a bug fix:
A problem is being fixed that caused some players not to receive the reward when they successfully completed all side missions in an area.
Note: The State of the Game, the weekly report from Massive, will no longer take place at noon, but in the evening. We will report on it shortly.
The housing system of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is expanding. After the feature was officially announced yesterday, the developers spoke a bit more about it.
Both MMORPG.com and MassivelyOP were able to conduct interviews with the developers at Zenimax and glean some further details about the housing system of The Elder Scrolls Online. This included discussions on how large the housing instances will be. This depends on the type of accommodation. A room in a tavern can accommodate significantly fewer players than a large estate. For the latter, the developers expect about 24 players per instance.
Live rent-free
As for rent or maintenance costs for the accommodations, there is nothing to pay. You purchase the accommodation once and use it for as long as you like. However, those who are ESO+ members can furnish their homes with twice as many items. If the subscription expires, you will still be able to keep the items. These objects mainly consist of items that already exist in the game – but there are also some new things. In the future, real guild halls could find their way into the game, and it would be conceivable for the developers to offer houses that are not solely based on the architecture of the playable races.
The housing system of ESO took a bit longer because the developers first had to create an editor that allows you to freely place your furniture and decorative items in the house. Additionally, the servers had to be optimized for the extra load. For inspiration for the system, the developers did not only draw from other MMORPGs but also from games of other genres.
Live on your own island
As for the housing zones, these will only be found in the regions of the base game, as Homestead is a free update and does not require a DLC. In Cyrodiil, however, it will not be possible to build houses. And in the Crown Store, there are very special plots of land, including an island where you can settle.
Even though Homestead brings quests through which you acquire your accommodations, these are only relatively simple small stories. However, another story update is already in the works. Players can therefore look forward to Update 13.
A system to manage your own garden may be introduced at a later date in the MMORPG.

In The Division, we present an outstanding healer build. With this, you can use the skill “First Aid” every 6 seconds.
Since updates 1.4 and 1.5, it is possible in The Division to create countless builds that are also relevant in the endgame. In the months prior, there were only one or two character setups that were suitable for “powerful builds.” Now the selection is significantly larger.
If you want to create a healer build, many will initially think of a combination with the “Tactician’s Authority” set. This set revolves around skill power – the better the skill power, the better the healing skills. However, the YouTuber MarcoStyle now presents us with a healer build that fully relies on the Recovery set. With this, he achieves impressive results:

Healer builds are especially useful when you are in a group. Your task is to keep the team alive. And this build aims to achieve just that. You are not only capable of healing allies efficiently, but you also have a high toughness of over 400,000.
You can use First Aid every six seconds, the ally healing amounts to 219,020 health points, and the skill ensures “over healing.” It becomes extremely difficult to defeat your team. How is this possible?
Tutorial for Build Creation
The equipment is crucial:
Chest Piece: A high-end chest with the Rapid talent, which reduces the cooldown of healing skills by 15%. It also provides bonuses to armor and resistance to exotic damage.
Mask: Recovery with bonus to skill power.
Knee Pads: Recovery with bonus to armor.
Backpack: High-end with the Specialized talent, which adds 200% from firearms and stamina to electronics. Also a bonus to armor.
Gloves: Recovery
Holster: Recovery with bonus to armor.
With his mods, the YouTuber primarily increases stamina.
In terms of attributes, he ends up with a total of 3087 firearms, 5985 stamina, and 5947 electronics:
The Skills Used:
First Aid with the Defibrillator mod, which primarily benefits allies. Additionally, the cooldown time of all mods is the shortest here.
Support Station with the Immunizer mod
The Character Talents:
Triage: Heal an ally with a skill to reduce the cooldown time by 15%.
Emergency Medicine: Use a First Aid kit at low health points to increase damage resistance by 40% for 10 seconds.
Field Medic: Use a First Aid kit near allies to heal them by 40% within a radius of 20 meters.
Death by Helper: Destroying a skill set by the enemy increases skill power by 20% for 30 seconds.
By the way: He uses the Liberator and a RPK-74 E black market version as weapons.
How is the 6 seconds cooldown achieved?
In this build, it is shown that the cooldown for “First Aid” is 21.8 seconds. However, MarcoStyle promises us 6 seconds. He achieves this with these tricks:
The Rapid talent on the chest piece, which reduces the cooldown of healing skills by 15%.
Mineral Water: With this consumable, skill cooldown is reduced by 30%.
Triage: This character talent causes the cooldown to be reduced by 15% when healing an ally.
Important Info:
Triage works as follows: When three allies are healed simultaneously, the talent is triggered once. If the allies enter the healing sequentially, the talent is triggered up to three times. Only in this way can the 6 seconds be achieved.
Mineral Water: Also, Mineral Water must be active. The cooldown for this consumable is 2 minutes, but it lasts only one minute. Here, the benefits of the Recovery set are important, as it prolongs the duration of Mineral Water and prevents it from being consumed:
2-Set Bonus: +50% consumable duration
3-Set Bonus: +50% Support Station effectiveness
4-Set Bonus: Talent – Consumables and special ammunition affect the entire group and are not consumed upon use. The cooldown for consumables is triggered, and you cannot use them again immediately, as you must wait for the cooldown.
Overall, all aspects of this build aim to keep the group alive. You can use the healing skills frequently and effectively. In this video, you can see it in action:

Battlerite celebrates Christmas in its own way: with carnage, a new hero, and special winter-themed skins. Additionally, more balance adjustments are coming for fair gameplay.
Battlerite is an arena brawler that focuses on direct action, unlike a full-fledged MOBA like LoL or Heroes of the Storm. Two versus Two or Three versus Three heroes face off in an arena, and hardly any match lasts longer than a few minutes.
Battlerite has already received three new heroes with the nasty goblin Ezmo, the creepy creature Ruh Kaan, and hunter Jumong. The fourth new champion is coming soon, and although we currently don’t know much about him/her/it, we suspect that the new character has something to do with snow and ice.
Frosty Christmas
Starting December 14, the new update for Battlerite will go live, and alongside the unknown new champion, you will get a ton of new skins for your weapons. The heroes themselves can look forward to legendary skins. The theme will be ice and snow. However, there won’t be classic Christmas motifs like candy canes and Santa Claus costumes. Additionally, the developers at Stunlock Studios are planning adjustments to gameplay, matchmaking, and balance. There should also be a new ranking system. We hope to learn more on December 14.
Even though not much concrete information about the Christmas update in Battlerite is known so far, the announcements sound promising. Especially the announced changes to the ranking and balance could potentially improve the rather strange matchmaking of the arena brawler.
The artwork of a possible new weapon for Battlefield 1 has been discovered. In the video, you can see the crossbow grenade launcher.
In Battlefield 1, you have the choice between many different weapons. Depending on the class, you can equip machine guns or sniper rifles, for example, and use them in battle. You also have the choice of various secondary weapons, among which the Kolibri is one of the highlights. There may soon be a new method to throw grenades in the game. This will be aided by a weapon based on a crossbow.
In his last update on the website, he uploaded images of weapons for medics, assault soldiers, and scouts that already exist in the game. However, there was also the image of a weapon that cannot yet be used in Battlefield 1: a crossbow grenade launcher. The image has since been deleted. In the video, YouTuber Westie shows how this weapon looks.

A similar weapon already existed in the Battlefield 3 DLC Aftermath. In Battlefield 1, there are currently not many options for throwing grenades, so a new weapon of this kind would make sense.
This weapon may only be a concept for Battlefield 1 that has already been discarded. However, this information could have simply been written as a comment on the image to provide clarity. As Westie mentions in the video, this crossbow grenade launcher could also be a new weapon that might already be activated with the They Shall Not Pass DLC. The DLC is planned for March 2017.
There are Pokemon in Overwatch. They are fluffy, like ice cream, and are mostly named Mei.
Every week, absurd, exciting, or just funny moments happen in Overwatch, often captured in a “Play of the Game.” We have searched social media again and picked out three special highlights for you. Have fun with our 3 “Play of the Game” moments of the week!
If you want to feel a bit jealous for a few moments, you should watch the player Mrkd as he takes out the opposing team almost single-handedly as Widowmaker. With an incredibly high hit rate, he clears the enemy team while being praised by his teammates, who are overwhelmed with “Oh!” and “Ah!” And then comes what had to happen: as soon as Widowmaker is boosted by Ana with a nanoboost, the hit rate drops by 100%. But that is known to be a mechanic of the nanoboost.

Anyone who has ever played McCree dreams of the perfect moment. 6 people in sight when “High Noon” is ready, and with a single click, the entire enemy team is sent to respawn. Sylvan shows how to do it right and still look cool. The whole thing is rounded off with an emote where McCree tips his hat – just in time before the recording ends. Perfect performance, 10 out of 10 points.

For the finale, we have a staged, though pretty cool video. What would a good Pokemon trainer do when the opponent sends a wild D.Va with an explosion into the match? Right, throw a Mei with an ice block in front. That’s exactly what it looks like with these two players, as if Ana is “throwing” the Mei – and the result is quite impressive.

In FIFA 17, a new Squad Building Challenge is live in FUT. There is a special card of David Villa to win.
In FUT 17, you can now complete a new SBC to receive a unique card. This challenge is called MLS-MVP and has a special card of David Villa as a reward. You only have six days left to do it, as it is a time-limited Squad Building Challenge.
This is how the SBC “MLS-MVP” works
The reward is an upgraded special card of David Villa. It is untradeable:
You need to create a team from your cards according to certain requirements and then exchange these cards. But beware: The cards will be gone.
These are the requirements for the FIFA Challenge:
MLS: Exactly 11 players from this league.
Nationalities: Exactly 11
Team Overall Rating: At least 76
Team Chemistry: Exactly 100
A possible solution for the challenge can be found here. Keep in mind that many other solutions are possible:
Atlas Reactor brings a new game mode inspired by the game trailer for Christmas. In addition, we get to play a new heroine named Phaedra.
In Atlas Reactor, four cyberpunk heroes fight against each other for the most kills. The twist is that everything is turn-based, and you have a strict time limit of only 20 seconds to plan each move. So far, there have been 23 heroes and only the aforementioned standard game mode, but both of these will change with the winter update!
Get the briefcase!
The new heroine from Atlas Reactor is named Phaedra and loves to bring other characters into her cozy home and have fun with them. Okay, it should be mentioned that Phaedra is a two-meter tall monster that looks like a mix of a lizard, a cobra, a tree, and an insect, has four legs and two arms, and is actually called “Phaedra, the Abomination”! This Phaedra is a mashup of various DNA experiments from the EvoS corporation and represents a terrifying presence on the battlefield. She can attack through walls and has a long-range storm attack. Particularly creepy: She can pull enemies through the ground into her lair and munch on them delightfully.
In addition to the new heroine, there is finally another game mode for Atlas Reactor. It is similar to the fun trailer of Atlas Reactor. You know, the one with the briefcase and the dog. Like in the movie, you have to grab that briefcase and keep it as long as possible. Whoever has the briefcase is always visible and cannot use evasive skills. Additionally, the briefcase falls to the ground when you take enough damage. Each round with briefcase possession gives points, and when 10 are together, an exit appears that you need to reach. In addition to these new features, the corporate wars are now over and Warbotics is out. The whole fun is already available, and for Christmas, there are also new skins and decorated maps.
https://youtu.be/13E07c5hfIQ
Thanks to the new game mode with the briefcase, a major criticism of Atlas Reactor is finally resolved. Because however fun the deathmatch rounds in the standard mode were, it eventually got boring. The hunt for the briefcase should therefore bring a breath of fresh air into the turn-based action game. The new heroine Phaedra fits well into the lineup of existing characters and already impresses with her cool design.
