Lineage Eternal is soon starting its first closed beta in South Korea. Here in our country, the game is also considered an upcoming highlight. But what is so great about Lineage Eternal? We name five reasons why Lineage Eternal could be a real hit.
However, it is considered likely that NCSoft’s new MMO will eventually find its way to the West. But why should one even look forward to the game? Isn’t it just another new Korean grinder?
Five reasons why Lineage Eternal could rock!
We can’t say how grindy Lineage Eternal will ultimately be – that’s a standard accusation against Asian MMORPGs – but there are already some indications that NCSoft’s new MMO could be really good. We have listed five particularly important features of the game for you here.
It looks amazing!
The gameplay scenes shown so far from Lineage Eternal are bursting with graphic splendor. This wonderfully showcases the colorful fantasy world. The many cool combat animations and effects contribute optimally to the gaming experience. Anyone who has always wanted an Asian-inflected Diablo 3 with great graphics (and many people do), could really enjoy Lineage Eternal.
Action MMO gameplay
The gameplay of Lineage Eternal is said to be heavily oriented towards Blizzard’s action role-playing game Diablo 3. This promises us action-packed battles and fluid gameplay, as one is used to from Blizzard’s devil hunt. In addition, typical MMORPG elements such as guilds, PvP, crafting, and instances are included. So, the best of both worlds, if the previous information is to be believed.
Giant bosses!
Action RPG gameplay in Lineage Eternal includes battles against huge enemies and bosses. The creatures in Lineage Eternal are gigantic and promise epic challenges and legendary loot when we take them down. We are eager to see how the battles can ultimately be mastered in the game.
Classic Lineage class selection
Lineage Eternal relies on the proven and familiar hero types from the Lineage franchise for its classes. However, the beloved heroes have been adapted to the new action gameplay. In the Lineage Eternal trailer, we see each hero briefly with their skills and abilities. Additionally, the heroes are now called “Eternals” and, according to information from the website Steparu.com, each has their own personality.
A hero is not enough! Then take four!
There is a new feature in Lineage Eternal that has only recently been revealed: We can control not only our main hero but also a party of up to four characters! With the F1 to F4 keys, we can switch through the currently active character. This way, we can master many challenges without a group and do not have to rely on a single hero in gameplay.

In Overwatch , the leveling system has been revised. Promoting no longer brings a flood of loot boxes.
The Patch 1.5 of Overwatch yesterday brought the latest hero Sombra into the game, but also some changes to the leveling system and thus the distribution of loot boxes.
After level 23, every additional tier in the game now requires exactly 20,000 experience points. This primarily means that after “promoting” (reaching level 100), you can no longer quickly grab a multitude of loot boxes, as levels 101-123 now also take so long – so 20,000 experience points. Previously, you needed 22,000 experience points for all “high” levels.
In the official forums, some players condemn this change, stating that they believe Blizzard wants to force the purchase of loot boxes. Jeff Kaplan promptly responded:
“This change has nothing to do with our interest in selling more or fewer loot boxes. This change aims to prevent players from wanting to stop playing at certain points. These changes are intended to make the leveling system more understandable and fairer. We want you to play Overwatch or not play, if you want to or do not want to. That is the complete reason for this change. Nothing else.”
He later added:
“In summary, this change actually benefits the players. If we had these changes during the Halloween event, more loot boxes would have been distributed in total. More players would have received more cool stuff.”
By the way, all players should take a look at the new “Arcade Mode”, as there you can snag 3 free loot boxes for 3 wins each week, and one additional loot box for winning in a new game mode for the first time.
Cortyn says: Overall, I think the change is good, and even if it feels like a “punishment”, it can be easily calculated that you now need slightly less XP overall than before. It was also a barrier for me to continue playing when you knew that level 100 was coming up and a big event was knocking on the door soon. Therefore, I like it.

In Destiny, scientific methods have been applied to analyze player behavior.
The Player Archetypes of Destiny in PvE
In PvE, according to a seemingly scientific study by Anders Drachen and numerous co-authors, there are five major archetypes, clusters of Destiny players:
The “High DPS” (23.5% of players) simply love dealing as much damage as possible and use their special attacks as often as they can.
The Guerilla Fighters (16.7%) adapt to every situation, frequently switch their weapons, and know what they’re doing.
The Melee Fighters (22.9%) always want to get into close combat, either striking or using short-range weapons. They have a lot of success with those – more than players of other archetypes in Destiny *cough* Pump Men *cough*. Sorry, I have a cold.
Then there are the “Sitting Duck Snipers” (18.8%), who prefer to kill from long distance and from a stationary position. These are the campers of Destiny.
Finally, we have the Mobile Marksmen (18.1%) – these are snipers who also get closer to the enemy. However, they stick with their long-range weapons like scout rifles, pulse rifles, or sniper rifles.
That’s probably a camper.
The Archetypes in PvP
In PvP, the playstyle inferred from the data changes significantly. By the way, the data was provided directly by Bungie, and we graciously thank them for it.
The Melee Fans (35.1%) love shotguns – those are their absolute favorite weapons. They also use their melee attack and lead in PvP.
The Snipers (28.9%) also appear in PvP of Destiny and almost always use sniper rifles, with a few opting for scout rifles. Their secondary weapon is a hand cannon. And with these two weapon types, they excel. Snipers spend more time in PvP than players of other archetypes.
The “Objective Killers” (20.1%) – these players enjoy the Control mode and focus on holding strategically important points. They can handle all weapons well.
The “Casual PvP Players” (15.9%) – they don’t actually play much PvP, prefer PvE instead, and are equally competent or incompetent with all weapons.
Casual, obviously – you can tell by the hairstyle.
In Destiny, You Are What You Shoot
The study concludes: Weapons shape the character of Destiny players. They play a central role. In short: Tell me which weapons you prefer to use, and I’ll tell you what kind of player you are.
This is the very rough summary of the analysis – anyone who wants all the details, numbers, and statistics can find everything important in the sources.
Mein MMO says: It’s funny when “science” tells you what anyone who knows a bit about Destiny would also say. These pumpers are incredibly successful but frowned upon. Campers exist in every game, and if someone really wants to win in PvP, they stay at the damn control points and will probably go insane because the others couldn’t care less. Okay, maybe that’s not what the study tells us – but common sense does.
In a standard Crucible match, you will find all archetypes. One person screams “No, stay at A and B, leave C alone”, the pumper runs like a squirrel on crack into the enemy’s player group, the camper doesn’t move two meters from their spot, and the casual player often dies again. Oh, Destiny, never change.
What type of players are you? I hope no one says “Guerilla” and “Objective Killer” – no one will believe those numbers now.
In FIFA 17, the TDW 9 is known. Which players will receive an “in-form” card today, on November 16, in the “Ultimate Team” mode?
The big star in this Team of the Week is easily identifiable: Neymar with an overall rating of 93! The Brazilian has outstanding values in dribbling, pace, and shooting, making him a deadly weapon in the offense.
Other highlights include Payet with 87, Lukaku, Bravo, and Eriksen with 86 each. However, there are many other players in the mid-80s. From a German perspective, Jonas Hector is interesting. Strong left-backs are scarce in the Bundesliga, so he should be quite sought after with an overall rating of 83.
Next, we will take a closer look at the player ratings of the TOTW cards.
The ratings and player values of the “Team of the Week” players – Week 9
This is the starting lineup:
These players are the substitutes:
These players will be available from Wednesday, 7 PM, until the following Wednesday, November 23, at 6:45 PM, in the sets. After that, you can only acquire these special cards on the transfer market.
What is the TOTW anyway?
Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. This is also the case in FIFA 17. Here, the players who performed outstandingly in real football in the past week are rewarded with special cards that possess improved attributes.
You can pull the TOTW cards within a week from those sets that may contain Rare (Gold) players. However, the chance is considered to be low. Additionally, you can buy them on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. However, the prices are usually extremely high.
A free trial weekend starts for The Elder Scrolls Online, but there are some gigabytes to download.
Fans of Tamriel, who might know it from Skyrim but have never tried ESO, can now check it out for free during the weekend, as long as they can manage the mega download and have a PC or a PlayStation 4 – Xbox One players will have to wait.
“Weekend” is actually the wrong word, it is an extended weekend.
On the PS4: It starts now. The gates have been open since midnight today. It ends on the night from Monday to Tuesday at 1 AM.
On PC, it starts at 7:00 PM today, ending on Monday at 9 PM.

There is access to the base game, plus 500 crowns, which can be used to shop in the game, and if you want to continue playing your hero after the trial, you can keep your progress.
There is a catch: you need 73 GB of hard disk space – that should give you a taste of how long the download will take. Patching in ESO is already feared, a complete download … is quite a task.
WoW is now 12 years old and is entering its “difficult age.” We tell you what rewards are available.
Perhaps one shouldn’t think about it too long, as it makes one aware of their own age, but World of Warcraft has become another year older again. For the 12th birthday of the MMORPG from Blizzard, there are some gifts and bonuses that can be enjoyed from November 16 to November 30. As is usual in MMOs, however, the gifts go to the players, not the developers – otherwise it would be awkward for us.
Everyone who logs into the game will receive a letter with their character that includes some goodies:
200 Time-Lost Badges
Holiday Package – Grants 12% additional experience and reputation from killing monsters for one hour (infinitely reusable – until November 30)
Letter from the Timewalkers (Quest starter)
The quest leads you to Stormwind (Alliance) or Orgrimmar (Horde), so you stand in front of your faction’s respective holiday merchant. This merchant has a daily quest, for which a lot of gold and 25 Time-Lost Badges are at stake. And before anyone asks: Yes, those are the same badges that are usually obtained from the Timewalking dungeons.
For the badges, additional rewards can also be purchased during the event, for the first time exclusively the Corgi Pup. In addition, there are rewards from the previous year, such as the costume of Edwin VanCleef and some transformation wands.
Since the mail is also sent to all twinks, one can especially level up second and third characters well in the coming two weeks, taking advantage of the 12% bonus.
The Nexus Challenge is now active! It offers rewards for Overwatch (Oni-Genji) and Heroes of the Storm . This makes the challenge interesting for fans of both games.
The essentials at a glance:

The November update of Battlefield 1 addresses ignorant squad leaders and allows for their replacement. Here’s how it works.
The major “Battlefield 1” update in autumn has made some changes to the game. One of the new features allows the replacement of inactive squad leaders who do not give orders. Most of you know how to gain a lot of experience points in Battlefield 1 and that squad leaders have a significant impact on this. Unfortunately, in the past weeks since the release of the game, it has often been the case that squad leaders play for themselves and do not issue orders to their squad. This results in valuable XP being lost. With a new system, squad leaders in Battlefield 1 can be replaced.
Kick Squad Leaders
The squad changes in the latest Patch 1.04 for Battlefield 1 put an end to inactive squad leaders. If they ignore the team’s command requests, there will be a position change after a short time, and another squad member will become the leader. Here’s how the system works:
If a squad member requests a command without an active squad order, the requesting player is added to a squad leader waiting list.
From now on, a 60-second timer begins.
If the squad leader does not issue a squad order within those 60 seconds, the first player in the squad leader waiting list will be promoted to the new squad leader.
This player then has another 60 seconds to issue a command. If this does not happen, the next player in the squad leader waiting list takes the squad leader’s position.
The waiting list of squad leaders is built up after command requests. The player who requested a command first is at the top.
Once the squad leader issues a command, the waiting list for that squad is cleared.
These changes should ensure that you can earn more experience points in the future. It has always been frustrating when a squad leader does not give orders and you had to forgo the additional experience points. Now you can take the reins yourself and lead your team to victory. Additional tips on how you can lead your team to victory can also be found in the Battlefield 1 Boot Camp.
The “Sandbox MMO meets Minecraft” Trove by Trion Worlds is very popular, and all owners of an Xbox One or Playstation 4 can also look forward to a release.
Trion Worlds has now announced that they are working very hard on the versions for Xbox One and PS4 and are sure that this hard work will pay off. Since they seem to be so excited, the team is now throwing a party in the PC version. During this, there will be new invasions, new loot, new mounts, new hubs, and more. The update will also bring some optimizations and balancing adjustments as well as the rare dragon Thallasion, Shaper of the Currents.
There are plenty of rare mounts now owned by players.
The console version is coming! Only when is still not clear
Trion has not yet announced a release date for the console versions of Trove. Presumably, these will be released next year. However, console players can also look forward to eventually being able to play Trove. Then it will be possible to create their own worlds on Xbox One or PS4, modify them, and design them according to their own ideas. Or they can visit the worlds of other players and experience adventures there. In addition, there are also worlds created by the developer studio, where many challenges await.
Trove represents an interesting mix of sandbox MMO and Minecraft. This appeals to many players. The building part, the entire changes to the landscape made possible by voxel graphics, combined with the improvement of one’s own hero, fighting against monsters, exploring different worlds, PVP, and much more, resonates with many players.
Now Trion Worlds just has to announce a release date for the console version of Trove and explain the differences between the versions.
And just when you think, “Surely the limits must have been reached by now,” streamer Rudeism jumps in front of the camera and crowns it all.
In his latest stunt, he has taken the heroine Symmetra, who is quite tech-savvy and has a “little” cleanliness obsession. What better way to control her than with a microwave? And that’s exactly what he does.

Especially cool is that he selects the teleporter by opening the door, and then places it. “The door is open” has never been more fitting than with this control.
Or to put it in the language of images, as a user on Reddit said: There was a point where we should have stopped. But let’s see where this takes us.
Cortyn says: I am slowly running out of comments that I can add to this. If someone controls Zenyatta with a marble game or Sombra with a keyboard next… I’m sure Rudeism will surprise us a few more times. Until then, he has a place in our news more or less secure.

Russians and citizens of the former Soviet Union who want to enjoy a cozy round of WildStar or Guild Wars 2 are left in the lurch. What are the reasons?
“No Russians allowed” is currently figuratively written on the service homepage of WildStar and Guild Wars 2, as Russia, along with many former Soviet countries, is on the list of blocked nations. This means that no one trying to log in to Guild Wars 2 or WildStar from these countries will gain access.
What is going on?
According to the website MassivelyOP, the list of blocked nations was initially divided into two parts. One part included countries like North Korea, Iran, or Syria. These nations were blocked due to sanctions by the U.S. government. Russia and its former satellite states, on the other hand, were excluded for unspecified reasons (legal and security reasons).
However, this division has since disappeared, and there is now only one list that simply considers all previously mentioned states as blocked without providing any reasons. Thus, Russia, Belarus, and Georgia are on the same ban list as North Korea and Syria! According to MassivelyOP, the ban on Ukraine was a mistake, but the country remains on the list of blocked states.
We have inquired with NCSoft about this situation and expect a response during the day. Once we have an official statement from the publisher, we will update this report. Whether other games from the U.S. are planning similar actions against Russia and others is not yet known to us. We will report on this as soon as we know more.

EVE Online has been Free2Play since yesterday – almost. The new Alpha clones allow players to play for free, albeit with restrictions. CCP Games’ Andie Nordgren has now answered some questions in an interview.
Many EVE Online players are concerned that a flood of new players will create chaos and disrupt the balance in the game. CCP Games was aware of this from the start, which is why they gradually prepared the community for the changes. They didn’t want to “surprise” anyone by simply introducing the feature.
The balancing has to be right
Andie Nordgren explains that many alliances are now founding new corporations in the starting areas of the game as recruitment agencies with the launch of the Free2Play version. Through these, each alliance aims to attract new players. Additionally, the team intentionally chose the restrictions that Alpha clones now have. It is not possible to play more than one account simultaneously, so players cannot mine with multiple accounts unless they pay for a subscription. This should help maintain the balance to some extent. While some new players are sure to cause trouble, they aim to limit this as much as possible.
The game will also be monitored more closely to intervene immediately if a player causes trouble, gets banned, and then immediately creates a new free account to continue causing chaos. Currently, for example, it is possible for Alpha clones to attack anyone in high-security areas, but as soon as they notice that this feature is being exploited in any way, they will take action against it.
CCP Games are the custodians of EVE Online
CCP Games, however, prefers not to intervene too much. They see themselves more as a type of “custodian” who shows up when something needs to be repaired. Basically, everything is allowed within certain limits, even cheating. The rules of the real world also apply in EVE Online. But the game has its own dynamics. It can happen that a player who has previously shot you invites you into their corporation. EVE Online works like this: you drink a beer together and then bash each other’s heads in.
CCP Games has also ensured during the transition to Free2Play that certain systems can no longer be exploited, including gambling, where many millions of ISK (in-game currency) had to be removed from the game. This was necessary on one hand, but on the other hand, it also pained the developers to remove such an organization from the game, which had contributed significantly to the world of EVE Online. In the end, however, balance always comes first. That must be right. And the rules that apply in the real world must also be followed in EVE Online.
Microsoft is seizing the opportunity to announce shortly after the release of the PS4 Pro: Our console, the Xbox Scorpio, truly delivers real 4K and graphics never before seen on a console. At the Xbox FanFest in Mexico City a few days ago, Xbox Executive Aaron Greenberg was quoted as follows:
It [Note: The Xbox Scorpio] will truly deliver real 4K with visually incredible games that we have never seen before on a console.
This will make the Scorpio the most powerful console ever. Until now, only gamers who invest thousands of dollars in a high-end PC could enjoy such a premium experience. The new Xbox aims to bring this exactly into a console in your living room.
All first-party titles will come in native 4K
According to Microsoft, all upcoming first-party games launching during the Scorpio’s timeframe will come in native 4K. It was also stated earlier this month that the Scorpio will have backward compatibility for “Xbox 360” games. All “Xbox One” titles will also run on it. However, there will be no Scorpio-exclusive games – except for some VR titles.
The sandbox PvP MMORPG The Exiled, formerly Das Tal, is currently being translated by the developers into six languages.
The alpha of The Exiled is currently only playable in English. But that will change soon. Currently, translation work is underway into the six languages German, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish. From now on, the patch notes for the game will also be available in these languages.
Translations are important
In addition, sub-forums for the mentioned languages are now available. There, you can talk to other players and the community managers in your native language. This way, it should also be easier for you to find teammates to start guilds, for example. Moreover, many players find it easier to play in their native language.
The development team is also currently planning to translate The Exiled into Russian and Turkish. More translators are still being sought for this. For the studio, this is a very big step. They are quite aware that they are catering to a niche with the game, but the fact that it will also be available in several languages helps to attract new players who want to play in their native language.
Translation work begins after the alpha
The translation work on the game will begin after the next alpha test, which takes place from December 1 to 21. Next year, the beta is coming, which could already be offered in at least six languages.
Are you interested in a PvP sandbox MMORPG that you will soon be able to play in German? Then The Exiled might be interesting for you.

Today, on November 16th, the weapon day is celebrated in Destiny. Banshee-44 is taking new orders and brings the forges’ requests from last week.
With “Rise of Iron,” the gunsmith has received little love from Bungie. His items now come with a higher light level of 320, but this is quite sparse considering the new maximum of 400. Banshee-44 has also not received any new weapons for Guardians to collect. Therefore, we at Mein-MMO are also looking into how long we will continue reporting weekly about the forger. Currently, we still see solid reader interest, but this is steadily declining.
The gunsmith has telemetry, synths, weapon parts, and armor materials on offer. You can also order guns and execute field test weapons to increase your reputation with him. At certain reputation ranks, he even has quests for exclusive weapons for you.
The field test weapons this week
To earn reputation points and thus get reward packages, you can practice with the following weapons this week:
A pulse rifle from Häkke wants to be used against Fallen.
A pulse rifle from Suros is headed to the Crucible.
A hand cannon from Häkke craves double kills.
A rocket launcher from Suros targets high-ranking enemies.
The main enemy of a Häkke sniper rifle is Cabal Centurions.
These 5 weapons can be ordered
Against 2500 Glimmer, the following forge requests are available:
First up is the Suros auto rifle ARI-41. Impact 8.
Additionally, the Omolon fusion rifle Thesan FR4 can be ordered. Impact 94.
The powerful Omolon hand cannon Kumakatok HC4 is also available. With good perks, it’s a powerful weapon. It is among the rapid-fire hand cannons with an impact of 68.
From Omolon, there is also the hand cannon Uffern HC4. Impact 87.
Last up is the Omolon sniper rifle Uzume RR4. Low impact of 13.
Which weapons with which perks can be picked up?
The auto rifle Zarinaea-D comes with Snapshot, Crowd Control, and Lightweight Frame.
The hand cannon Uffern HC4 features Increased Range and Zen Moment.
The scout rifle SUROS DIS-43 has Adjusted Stock and Balance Bar.
The shotgun Jingukogo-D does not come with strong perks.
The sniper Eirene RR4 has Fireball and Mulligan.

Cortyn is excited about Sombra in Overwatch. At least until everyone wanted to play her in competitive mode.
I wish you all a lovely Wednesday (once again). A new patch in my favorite shooter should indeed be a reason for joy, right? Well, almost. Why that is not quite the case in Overwatch, I will gladly explain again.
Yesterday, the latest hero for Overwatch finally came within reach, as Sombra left the PTR and has finally hacked herself onto the live servers (actually patched, but that doesn’t sound as cool). Together with the new game modes, the patch is relatively polished and has a lot to offer. If only not everyone would play Sombra.
And now the (absolutely unexpected!) realization: Most players have not yet figured out how to play Sombra effectively. I myself am not excluded from that. But last night, I experienced in 8 out of 11 games that a player desperately wanted to play Sombra, no matter how many times he was shot down and regardless of how useless the character was in a situation. The problem: That was in competitive game mode.
The justification of these players is absurd yet understandable: In “Quick Play,” currently everyone wants to play Sombra, resulting in the player with the quickest click getting this character. In competitive game mode, most try to play “seriously” to achieve a good ranking, meaning: they do not choose Sombra because they are not yet experienced with her. So what do the frustrated “Quick Play” people do, who cannot get Sombra there? Right, they play Ranked.
After the match, I even spoke with one of these players and asked why he wouldn’t play the new “No Limits” mode. The answer: Everyone would play Sombra there, and it would be nothing special for the team anymore.
Sometimes people are just difficult. It’s probably best if I let Overwatch rest for a few days until the Sombra hype has died down.
At least: Often enough, the opposing team also had a Sombra fanatic, so both sides had the handicap.
The hardcore mode in Battlefield 1 is being activated today for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. We show you what changes and when it starts!
This is what the players of Battlefield 1 have been waiting for. The hardcore mode will be unlocked today during the day. More specifically, there will be hardcore servers that will be activated in Battlefield 1. If you play on these servers, the “child safety” is disabled and the game will be significantly harder. The “friendly fire” feature is activated and all players have fewer health points, leading to quicker deaths.
Hardcore servers for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in Battlefield 1
Today at 1:00 PM, the hardcore servers of Battlefield 1 will be activated, this was confirmed by the Twitter account of Battlefield. On these servers, a “serious” game session begins, as everything will be made harder. In the past, hardcore servers had only a reduced interface. There is no permanent minimap, nor a display for ammunition, health points, or grenades. Additionally, you only have 60% of the usual health points known from the “normal” servers. Furthermore, there are the following settings to choose from:
No health regeneration (except by medics/medikits)
Friendly fire (Watch whom you shoot!)
Spotting does not place symbols on the heads of enemies
No third-person view in vehicles

These settings are typical features of the hardcore servers of Battlefield. Whether these changes will be “exactly like this” in Battlefield 1 is still unclear. It is also server-dependent which of these settings are activated. You can find more information about the hardcore mode here.

In The Division, we present an outstanding sniper build that allows you to take out other agents in the Dark Zone with just one shot.
Since update 1.4, there have been numerous changes to weapons, gear sets, talents, and skills that allow for various build possibilities. The YouTuber WOBO now presents his new sniper build, with which he cleans up in PvP. Below is a summary of this “One Shot” setup:

Weapons, Talents, and Gear Set Pieces for the Build
For the sniper build, you first need a precision rifle with devastating base damage. The fire rate doesn’t matter, as one shot should be enough to take down an enemy. For this, choose a M44 sniper.
For the mods, make sure to focus on headshot damage and critical hit damage. Particularly recommended is the mod “Omega Rifle Suppressor,” as it grants you about 16% additional headshot damage.
Your weapon must have three talents that are essential for the build:
Provident: The last bullet of a magazine deals 60% more damage.
Proficient: The first bullet fired outside of combat has an additional 50% chance to score a critical hit.
Competent: Weapon damage is increased by 10% for 15 seconds after using a skill.
Especially the 60% more damage from Provident is huge.
For the gear sets, you should focus on three pieces from Hunter’s Faith and Reaper. The bonuses from both 3-piece sets are critical:
+20% headshot damage.
+10% damage to enemies not in cover.
Otherwise, focus on firearms and stamina for your attributes. The armor pieces should provide bonuses to armor value. The gloves can add additional precision rifle damage and critical hit damage.
Your skills are First Aid with Injections and Pulse with Tactical Scanner.
Among the character talents, Tactical Advantage is powerful: moving from cover to cover increases weapon damage by 2% for each meter traveled for 10 seconds.
If you utilize all these advantages, it is even possible to eliminate the toughest agents with just one shot. In the test, WOBO takes down another agent with 505,000 toughness by activating explosive rounds, utilizing “Provident,” making a cover-to-cover movement, and using both skills. Using a special skill is not necessary but could further increase the damage output.
However, bear in mind that many agents have significantly lower toughness values. You can also take them down with one shot with less effort.
What do you think of this build?

With the Assault Soldier, you can blow up vehicles in Battlefield 1 and deal a lot of damage if you use the right weapons. Here are useful tips.
In Battlefield 1, you have a choice between 4 different classes in multiplayer: the Assault Soldier, the Supply Soldier, the Medic, and the Scout. In this guide, we will discuss the playstyle and weapons of the Assault Soldiers. They are capable of dealing particularly high damage at short to medium ranges. With their gadgets, they can also deal significant damage to armored vehicles. If you prefer a playstyle with a lot of action, then the Assault Soldier is a good choice for you.
Battlefield 1 Assault Soldier – How to play him
As an Assault Soldier, it is your job to kill many opponents and ideally survive. Equipped with powerful weapons and gadgets, you have a good chance of dominating your opponents and destroying heavy vehicles. Popular weapons include shotguns and submachine guns.
The best weapons for Assault Soldiers:
Depending on the game mode or map, one type of weapon may be more beneficial than another. On maps with tight passages and many close-range battles, a shotgun can be of great advantage. Ultimately, you decide which weapons you can handle best. Here we present popular weapons for the Assault Soldier.
The M97 Trench Gun (overbored) is well suited for dealing damage at close range. At longer distances, you have no chance with this weapon, so you should definitely seek battles up close.
Popular in our community: Model 10-A (Hunter) – This weapon is great if you want a shotgun that is still deadly at greater distances. Thanks to m4st3rchi3f and Martin Baumann for this tip!
The MP18 (Trench) is effective at medium to long distances. With this automatic weapon, you have a completely different playstyle compared to the M97. In our overview of the best weapons in Battlefield 1 we have also presented these weapons.
The Automatico M1918 (Assault) has made a good impression on our reader Haas_54 . He says that this weapon has a high rate of fire, making it very effective in close and medium combat.
For secondary weapons, you have free choice: As an Assault Soldier, you have a wide selection of sidearms. However, these should only be a last resort when you cannot use your primary weapon.
Assault Soldier Gadgets and Equipment
With the various gadgets, the Assault Soldier can show his true strength. You have access to anti-tank mines and grenades, a type of rocket launcher (anti-tank rifle), and dynamite!
Anti-tank Grenade: This gadget is a bundle of grenades that is effective against vehicles. Upon contact with a vehicle, it detonates and causes a lot of damage to the target vehicle. However, do not throw this bundle at vehicles that are very close, as the AOE damage can also be quite painful for you.
Anti-tank Mine: These mines deal significant damage to vehicles. They explode when a vehicle drives over them. If you place several mines close to each other, you can quickly destroy a vehicle.
Anti-tank Rifle: A type of rocket launcher that can destroy vehicles or buildings. The disadvantage of this weapon is that it requires a stable position before you can shoot it. Good against vehicles or to create new paths.
Dynamite: The function of dynamite or sticky bombs is already known from other games: you attach the dynamite charge to a target and can then detonate it from a distance. With the area damage from the explosion, you can also eliminate infantry groups.
As you can see, the gadgets of the Assault Soldier are versatile. Depending on the situation, you should equip yourself and counter the enemy. Do you have tips for other players who prefer the Assault Soldier class? Let us know in the comments.
In this week’s Destiny, the Nightfall strike “The Wretched Eye” is available. We show you a “Safe Spot”, a “Cheese Spot”, which allows you to easily master the strike.
Currently, since November 15th, the new strike “The Wretched Eye” Nightfall is in Destiny. This three-player PvE challenge was introduced with “Rise of Iron”. The final boss is a Splicer Priest who took an Eye from an Ogre and installed it in his weapon. However, you are not only fighting this Priest with the questionable weapon, but also the blind Ogre who rampages across the battlefield, smashing everything in his path.
During this final fight, you have little time to rest and regenerate. Because either the Priest teleports across the playing field, the Ogre is behind you, or adds spawn that sneakily attack you. The motto is: Stay in motion and sprint from cover to cover.
For a Nightfall strike, this is a rather poor state of affairs. Additionally, this time Arc Burn and Exposure are active, especially since many enemies in this strike fire Arc damage at you. The Shanks, which come from above during the final fight, are particularly feared.
Many Guardians are not pleased about this. “This is not a good week, I’m skipping this Nightfall strike” and “I’m not doing this again” can be read in our comments. However, there is a way to significantly simplify the whole thing.
Safe Spot in “The Wretched Eye”
A so-called “Safe Spot” or “Cheese Spot” was discovered weeks ago, which allows even a solo player to master the final fight. Nexxoss Gaming introduces you to the location:

In the final room, there is a pipe on the right side of the destroyed wall. You can hide behind it. At first, it takes some practice to get into the Safe Spot. You can try this before scanning the Ogre. The Ogre cannot deal damage to you here, and with clever positioning, the Priest’s attacks cannot reach you either. With some time and patience, you can comfortably snipe the boss here.
Whether you want to make use of this Safe Spot or whether you want to complete the Nightfall strike by all means in the “normal way” is entirely up to you.
