To efficiently take down enemies in Ubisoft’s MMO shooter, you shouldn’t just shoot wildly around. Precise shots to the head are the proven way to quickly chip away at the enemy’s health. All weapons in The Division deal increased damage when the bullets become headshots – unless you use the DeadEYE set talent.
An exciting aspect that has hardly been considered so far: Each weapon class has a special headshot multiplier. This means that weapons receive different damage bonuses when you hit the heads. In-game, only the additional bonus from precision rifles is listed – the base headshot multiplier for all weapons can only be discovered through personal experience. This is not displayed transparently.
Always aim for the head
The YouTuber MarcoStyle has now created a list that indicates this headshot damage multiplier per weapon class. These are the base values:
Submachine Gun: +50%
Assault Rifle: +75%
Shotgun: +80%
Light Machine Gun: +100%
Pistol: +100%
Precision Rifle: +120% + additional bonus
The actual headshot damage also depends on further factors, such as weapon talents and additional bonuses. For example, with light submachine guns, the increased damage to targets out of cover is an additional factor.
Considering these “secret” stats, LMGs become an interesting alternative among the fully automatic weapons. They come with good precision and a strong optimal range, allowing for many headshot hits.
At this point, a note that these numbers for the headshot multiplier are not official. However, this YouTuber is among those who have established themselves as trusted Division experts and are in close contact with Massive.
Have you already thought about which weapon classes receive which bonuses on headshot hits?
As a trainer in Pokémon GO, you must know how to help yourself. This way, you can hatch eggs while sitting without walking.
Especially the social factor in Pokémon GO convinces many players to go on Pokémon adventures. You go outside, meet friends, or make new acquaintances and simply have a nice time as a group. This positive aspect can quickly turn negative for some trainers when you “have to” walk for something to happen. This is the case when hatching eggs.
Hatching Eggs While Sitting
In Pokémon GO, you can receive 3 different types of eggs as loot that you must hatch to receive a Pokémon as a reward. The 3 different egg types differ in the kilometers you need to walk before the egg hatches. There are categories of 2 kilometers, 5 kilometers, and 10 kilometers. How hatching works and which Pokémon can hatch from which eggs can be found in our Pokémon GO Egg Hatching Guide.
The creative minds among Pokémon trainers have been searching for days for “THE” solution that makes hatching the eggs possible without having to move a lot. There have already been ideas where one placed the smartphone on a turntable and let it spin in circles or used a toy train to which the phone was attached. An even better method is the combination with a remote-controlled car.
The YouTuber Theibault deals with remote-controlled cars in many of his YouTube videos and has now combined this hobby with Pokémon GO. The good thing about this method is that the phone travels further distances with the toy car than if it were placed on a turntable. The GPS detection in Pokémon GO requires long, preferably straight paths for these routes to contribute to hatching the eggs. Additionally, you should not go faster than about 20 km/h for the hatching to be successful.

Cortyn has extensively played the endgame zone of World of Warcraft: Legion, Suramar. You can find out how the zone feels in this column.
Suramar – The first impression was a mistake
Okay, right from the start I have to confess. I was quite upset about the zone “Suramar” from World of Warcraft: Legion a month ago, because some developers said that this zone would be further built and expanded in the future. To me, it sounded like a typical “We didn’t finish on time”. Consequently, I was also very biased when I entered the area at level 110 in the beta. But I must say, my opinion has turned 180°.
Oh, I should probably mention that there are some spoilers below. I hereby declare this.
A large part of Suramar is the namesake capital of the Nightborne, which you have already seen in the comic “The Nightborne: Twilight of Suramar”. But the journey begins outside the city, where you meet “First Arcanist Thalyssra”. The lady has made an assassination attempt against Grand Magistrix Elisande, managed to escape with her life, and is now trying to save this world and her people from the Legion. Cut off from the Nightwell, however, the hunger for magic gnaws at her, so she needs the players’ help.
The largest city in World of Warcraft
As soon as you step a foot into the city of these elves, you can hardly stop being amazed. Thanks to a magical disguise, you can wander around largely unbothered and only need to watch out for a few enemies with “detector”. Suramar is significantly more extensive than Stormwind or Orgrimmar in terms of sheer size. It is the first area where you can find both “friends” and “enemies” in the same place. Most importantly, the city feels alive. Children of the Nightborne play in the streets, a noblewoman is carried around in a litter, citizens laugh at their fellow elves at the stocks, who are slowly being drained of magic while they themselves fear for their survival. And grotesquely, demons stomp somewhat “peacefully” through the streets because the Nightborne are currently allies of the Legion.
In Suramar, we transform into a Nightborne ourselves to move around the city unseen.
However, questing in Suramar is “different” and in a refreshing way. In order for the Nightaddicted to speak with me, I must provide them with “ancient mana,” which can be obtained almost everywhere. Approximately every 36 hours, these addicts need a new ration or they will be unresponsive. It sounds like annoying “grinding to unlock quests,” but it isn’t. Ancient mana is practically available on every corner, and those who explore a bit will quickly gather large amounts. With that, you can gradually activate a teleport network to travel comfortably through the zone. The best part? It’s embedded in the story. No more portals just for the sake of having portals!
Characters with soul
If Thalyssra doesn’t receive mana, she starts shaking uncontrollably.
At the same time, I can’t remember any quest line – not even from the highly praised Classic – that addresses so many different themes. Politics, intrigue, addiction, assassination attempts, betrayal, the struggle for survival. Even more astonishing: Blizzard creates characters throughout these quests that quickly grow on me. These aren’t nameless NPCs that one wearily smiles at when they hand over a reward. These characters have a soul, and at least the English voice acting, which is almost ubiquitous here, has already ensured that I have fallen in love with more than one Nightborne and Nightaddicted.
Arcanist Valtrois, Thalyssra, Grand Teleman Oculeth. These are just three names that will immediately land on my list of “best Warcraft characters” – and that without having ten years of buildup, as Garrosh did.
I am currently not even done with the area yet, because even after nearly 4 evenings (long, very long evenings) in the zone, I keep discovering new details and quests that keep me entertained.
Everything else from Legion pales
Honestly, I like Suramar so much that the four other areas before it fade in comparison. Don’t get me wrong: Azsuna, Highmountain, Val’Sharah, and Stormheim are well staged, have great quests with exciting twists, and surpass everything we saw in Warlords of Draenor. But Suramar takes it up a notch. For the first time, you really feel like you’re roaming around a city, like it really is “the center of a civilization” and not just 5 lonely houses that someone is trying to sell me as “great city crossroads”.
When we discuss this again in a few years and ask “What did we like about Legion?” I will say “Suramar”. If only every area in World of Warcraft was so brilliant, I would play nothing else.
I don’t know if Legion will be a success. I don’t know if the World of Warcraft expansion can “save” it. But I do know that Suramar has convinced me. More than any other area ever has.
New armor pieces from “The Rise of Iron” have been spotted in Destiny.
Last Wednesday, the developers took us on a discovery tour through the snowy Cosmodrome. Alongside the revamped environment, we got to see new armor pieces and the Gjallarwing Sparrow which were introduced with an impressive trailer.
In this trailer, not only is the Gjallarhorn-inspired Sparrow visible, but also two previously unknown armors for the Titan and the Hunter. Arekkz Gaming presents the brand new Iron gear:

Some new armor pieces that can be seen in the trailer have already circulated in screenshots or concept drawings. In the trailer, you can see a Titan with fresh gear zooming past the Sparrow around 0:27:
This Titan wears gear that is adorned with symbols of the Iron Lords: The shoulder guard is shaped like a wolf’s head, and the class item is also decorated with a wolf’s head. Therefore, it is not too far-fetched to refer to this Titan set as “Iron Armor”.
Arekkz suspects that this is the new Iron Banner armor for the Titan, rather than the “Iron Lord” gear. The latter looks “more exalted”, worthy of an “Iron Lord”, and has as its symbol an axe gripped by two hands. However, this can only be speculation. Here you see an already known Iron Armor of the Warlock:
The second armor piece spotted in the Gjallarwing trailer can be viewed around 0:46. It is Hunter gear with a tree symbol on the shoulders:
The bracelet gadget makes it much easier for you to catch in Pokémon GO!
Pokémon GO captivates many players worldwide who suddenly want to be Pokémon trainers. To ease the adventures that aspiring Pokémon trainers will undertake, there is a small gadget available in the Nintendo Online Store that can be attached to the wrist via a bracelet. With the help of LED signals and vibration alerts, the wearer is informed about various events in the game without needing to look at their smartphone.
Pokémon GO Plus – What the gadget can do
With the push of a button, catching Pokémon without having to operate the smartphone not only delights many smartphone batteries but also some trainers. The anticipation for the assistance device priced at €39.99 was so great that it sold out within moments in the Nintendo Online Store. With dimensions of 46mm x 33mm x 17.5mm and weighing 13g, the gadget does not stand out significantly unless an in-game event occurs. The built-in LED and vibration alerts then notify the wearer.
The most important function of the gadget for most trainers is, that you can catch wild Pokémon by pressing the button without actively using the smartphone. However, this currently only works for Pokémon you have already caught. Zubat will no longer annoy you on your phone’s display by flying around your Poké Balls. By the way, your smartphone is still used passively, as the gadget connects via Bluetooth to your phone to allow features like GPS tracking.
Pokémon GO Plus and Android
So far, the “Pokémon GO Plus” gadget is only compatible with iPhones and iOS and not yet available for Android devices. On Nintendo’s store website, it states that they have been “working since July 2016 to make Pokémon GO Plus compatible with smartphones that use Android operating systems.”
Buy Pokémon GO Plus – When will it be available?
The item is not available on the official Nintendo Online Store website. Buyers who were quick enough to secure a copy are supposedly promised to receive it by 31.08.2016 according to the website. Perhaps the developers want to delay the delivery that long to include additional features or make it compatible with other operating systems.
We are already excited to try out the gadget. Will you buy it?
The already nimble healer can now slide along walls much more easily than before. Instead of losing height after 3 seconds of sliding and then “falling off” the wall, Lúcio can now slide endlessly in one direction on a flat surface without sinking. But it gets even better: The Brazilian musician can easily take sharp 90° angles. This way, Lúcio can essentially ride along a wall indefinitely without ever having to touch the ground again.
The Youtuber Professor Ganymede has demonstrated how this affects the game in his latest video. Be sure to check out what kind of chasms Lúcio can now easily overcome.

In summary, this will make Lúcio significantly more manageable for inexperienced players. Professionals should now be able to get even more out of the supporter, as when you no longer have to worry about riding the wall, you can fully concentrate on shooting (and a bit of healing).

It is currently FUTTIES time for FIFA 16. EA Sports is offering daily gifts and double season rewards.
Over the next two weeks, it is definitely worth playing “Ultimate Team” regularly and checking the web or companion app daily. The developers at EA Sports are in a generous mood, a good two months before FIFA 17 will be released.
Currently, you can find pink FUTTIES cards in the sets and vote on which ones should be upgraded. This is a community event where fans can choose their favorite players in eleven different categories.
As part of this FUTTIES celebration, you should note the following special features:
From now until August 5, you will receive double the reward when you complete an online season. It doesn’t matter if you win the title, get promoted, get relegated, or maintain your division. The “normal” reward will now be twice as high.
On each day that you log into the web or companion app until August 5, you will receive a gift. For two weeks, you can open the app and be surprised.
In Heroes of the Storm, a player completely lost control – and with serious consequences.
The raw facts have been known for a while, now the details are known. A player could go to prison for 5 years after threatening to show up at Blizzard’s headquarters – with an AK-47, the Kalashnikov assault rifle.
Because he was “muted” in Heroes of the Storm …
This much had been known for a while, now PcGamesN knows the details. One wonders: For God’s sake, what injustice must have befallen the player that he threatens with such things? The answer: His account in Heroes of the Storm was “muted” after he aggressively insulted and threatened other players. Alongside racist insults, he also announced that he would “bomb the Twin Towers in New York.” In Heroes of the Storm, such behavior is punished by revoking chat rights.
When he could no longer threaten other players, he tried it with Blizzard:
“Watch out Blizzard. I live in California, your headquarters is in California… If you keep silencing me in Heroes of the Storm, I might, maybe not, stop by with an AK-47 and bring along some other fun toys.”
The perpetrator had already attracted attention before
Such things are taken very seriously in the USA, especially given the current climate. The 28-year-old was arrested by the FBI, the U.S. security agency. He is currently being held because authorities believe he has “serious mental problems” due to these and other statements. Already in March last year, he was committed for a mental health evaluation after allegedly telling a sheriff’s department that he had intentions of murdering visitors to a park.
The case is expected to go to court in a few days. The maximum penalty for the crime is 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

With a modification in Pokémon GO you can see Ditto.
In the popular mobile game Pokémon GO, you can already catch many rare Pokémon, but Ditto is still not among them. The special thing about Ditto is that it can change its form and thus adapt visually as well as in terms of attacks to its opponent. Although Ditto is not one of the legendary Pokémon, it cannot currently be caught in Pokémon GO like Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mewtwo, and Mew.
Ditto in Pokémon GO
On YouTube, a video by FrozenAquaCat has now surfaced that shows Ditto appearing in the game. To achieve this, the YouTuber only had to change a few numbers. In the Pokédex, the Pokémon Caterpie has the number 13, and Ditto has the number 132. When a wild Pokémon appears and you begin the interaction with it, the game uses this number to display the “correct” Pokémon.

To get from Caterpie to Ditto, you just have to append a “2” to the ID of Caterpie, resulting in ID 132. With the help of certain software, you can then insert this code into the game. After FrozenAquaCat did this, although you initially see a Caterpie on the map, a Ditto appears during the interaction. Unfortunately, there isn’t much to be gained with this modification, as the game crashes as soon as you try to throw a PokéBall.
We advise you against attempting this modding in any way.
Note: The footage shown should be taken with caution. Thanks to today’s image editing programs, doubts are warranted.
Pendles is incredibly likable, his hobbies include: ambushing opponents, gutting them, or pumping them full of poison and then watching them die slowly. Nice guy.
What else is new in Battleborn besides Pendles in summer 2016
Pendles will not be the only new addition coming to Battleborn soon. With the next update, new maps for Battleborn will also be released. On July 28, the next character, the twenty-eighth, will be introduced. Currently, there are promotions happening with certain deals and taunts in the shop, and the Lootocalypse has been extended until July 25.
Battleborn launched a few months ago but has struggled significantly in the wave of Overwatch, losing a lot of momentum:
World of Warcraft has been on the market for almost twelve years now, and during this time the launch screen we see after logging in has changed significantly multiple times. See here how the development of the screen has unfolded over the years.
The good old days, the year was 2004 and after entering your data in World of Warcraft, powerful orchestral music played and you saw the dark portal, dark and threatening, flanked by grim hooded figures in statue form! Those were launch screens!
Meanwhile, after the Pre-Patch to Legion, everything looks different and the dark portal has been replaced by a dark demon pit. Toxic green glows the fel magic and two demon servants of the “Demon Watch” type stand ready with their axes. However, between the original image of the Dark Portal and the demon camp, several other cool title screens have flashed across the screens.
All Screens at Once!
For example, there was an icy wasteland with a fortress in the middle for Wrath of the Lich King, and Arthas’s undead dragon pet “Sindragosa” stood roaring there. Or after the release of Cataclysm, when Deathwing personally greeted us while the dragon was busy crushing Stormwind. Especially cool was the screen from Mists of Pandaria, which showed two massive guardian statues with crossed spears. For the release of Warlords of Draenor, the portal returned, but with nasty red magic effects! If you’re now all teary-eyed with nostalgia, you can rejoice, because the colleagues at massivelyop have created a gallery that shows all previous launch screens of World of Warcraft, which we do not want to withhold from you. Enjoy!

Mein-MMO says: Ah, I still remember the launch screen back in 2004, when a friend lent me his WoW account for a week. The game itself didn’t impress me much back then, but the launch screen and that awesome music… ah… nostalgia! But enough reminiscing, which WoW launch screen is your favorite? Or do you think they all suck and WoW is dead anyway? Let us know!

In Destiny , we show you how to take down the Witch Kagoor in just a few seconds solo.
Currently, the Witch Kagoor greets you when you use the antiquated rune in Oryx’s courtyard. She never comes alone: Kagoor always has a loyal Ogre by her side, who protects her with his life.
Experienced Guardians are already familiar with this “Tier 3” boss’s mechanics: First, take out the Malicious Eyes to draw the Ogre’s wrath, then take down the Ogre, and finally unleash everything on the Witch. After a short time, Kagoor summons the Ogre again, and the fun starts all over – until Kagoor is laid low. Meanwhile, you take out the adds.
If you are part of a fireteam, this boss shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge. The user villiansv will show you how to take down Kagoor solo, and in an insane time.
Hunting Witches with the Sword
The demonstrated method works with all classes, as you only need certain weapons. A high power level, close to the maximum, is also recommended.
So prepare yourself:
Primary Weapon: Equip a powerful hand cannon or a scout rifle with punch, so that you can ideally take down the eyes with a single shot.
Special Weapon: Choose a sniper rifle with high impact. In the video, the Empty Gaze is used.
Heavy Weapon: Here, choose a sword – preferably the exotic Reaper or Darkdrinker. However, the method also works with legendary swords.
Here’s what to do:
First, position yourself behind and slightly to the left of the left rock to be protected from enemy fire. The exact position can be seen in the video.
Then, destroy three Malicious Eyes nearby, as the Ogre’s wrath can stack up to three times. This way, you can deal more damage to the Ogre.
Now snipe the Ogre and kill him with a few shots. To circumvent the sniper’s reload time, quickly switch to the primary weapon and finish off the Ogre.
Now run in with the sword to Kagoor and take her down with powerful strikes. If you are at light level 335, she can already be taken down with two strikes from the Reaper or Darkdrinker.
You can watch this solo run in the video. It took just under 30 seconds:

For your trade to thrive, you first need items to offer. The multi-tool serves to mine resources, allowing you to access treasures on the planets.
Throughout the gigantic galaxy, you will find elements that you need for the improvement of your tool, your ship, and your suit. If you come across a rich vein, you can exchange the surplus with traders. However, if you plunder a planet too much, you will have to deal with the Sentinels that want to maintain balance in the universe.
The galactic trade is especially lucrative when you bring the collected resources to planets where the respective element is rare or expensive. To trade successfully, you need to sell your goods for the best price and offer the best resources.
Trading with Aliens
Some planets are teeming with life – including intelligent life. You can trade with some of these alien inhabitants. However, business transactions can become complicated when there’s no common language.
By directly interacting with the races or mystical alien artifacts, you gradually learn the language. This makes communication easier and the aliens will gain trust in you. As a result, negotiations will also go more smoothly.
The following screenshot shows you the menu screen of No Man’s Sky, which can be seen in the trailer. Some people see similarities to the menu of Destiny here. Do you see it that way as well?
Here you can watch the trailers that have been released so far:
New hints about a possible Biker DLC in GTA 5 Online.
After more than 70 biker crews joined forces in April to petition for a Biker DLC for GTA 5, there are now hints of new motorcycle content. After Twitter user TezFunz2 looked more closely at the data from the Cunning Stunts update, he noticed several points that give biker fans hope.
Biker CEO Missions?
It was generally assumed that Rockstar would not hide future game data in scripts anymore, especially after 3 vehicles were leaked before their actual release. By the way, we owe the leak of the 3 cars to the same user as the biker information. The data in the script gives many reasons for speculation, but it is still unclear what these entries mean – take a look yourself:
Source: GTAForums
According to TezFunz2, lines that start with “gb” indicate that they refer to CEO or VIP work or missions. There might also be a completely new status for bikers at SecuroServ. In the future, you might be able to build your own motorcycle gang, providing an alternative to the CEO work, which allows you to earn millions of dollars.
If a line starts with “am_mp“, it refers to properties, such as houses or garages. This line suggests that you might be able to mod your garage in the future. In the CEO offices of GTA 5 Online, it is already possible to customize the equipment according to your own wishes.
We should be curious about what these data hold for us. The developers of GTA 5 Online have already shown that they continue to care about motorcycles and are not completely focused on cars, as demonstrated in the “Cunning Stunts” update, where recently new maps for motorcycle races were released.

This trainer has managed to catch (almost) all available Pokémon in Pokémon GO.
We need to clarify here and cannot refer to “all” as the 3 Legendary Birds, as well as Mewtwo, Ditto, and the region-dependent Pokémon have not been caught. Aside from that specific Pokémon, he has caught “all” – and that is quite an achievement.
142 Pokémon in the Pokédex!
According to a post on Reddit, the user “ftb_hodor” has managed to find and catch a total of 142 different Pokémon. He reportedly walked a total of 153.2 kilometers according to the app, hatched 303 eggs during that time, and caught a total of 4629 Pokémon along the way. His fitness app, which was running during his adventures, showed a distance of about 200 kilometers. That’s roughly the length of a stage in the Tour de France, the largest bicycle race in the world.
Some Pokémon seem to only be able to be caught in certain regions – rumor has it:
Tauros only in North America,
Mr. Mime only in Europe,
Farfetch’d only in Asia, and
Kangaskhan only in Australia
Some players report that they have found these Pokémon outside the specified regions – however, the Pokémon hatched from eggs.
In the Reddit post, ftb_Hodor was asked if he plans to catch the remaining Pokémon. Even though these are regionally limited, it would certainly be an important step to complete the Pokédex. Hodor joked at first that flights to Europe and Asia were already booked, but then added that he does not plan to chase the regionally limited Pokémon. He believes that these Pokémon really only exist in certain regions, as he talked to many trainers who had a similar Pokédex as he did.
By the time he has been to the regions to catch the Pokémon, the announced trading feature in the game would probably be implemented, which would make a larger Pokémon journey unnecessary.
In Evolve there is a new character. What “Electro Griffin” can do is truly shocking!
Electro Griffin
Evolve has changed its name to “Evolve: Stage 2” and has been available as a Free2Play title on Steam for a few weeks now. Although the game is still in beta, the developers at Turtle Rock have resumed work on new characters to keep longtime fans, returnees, and complete newcomers engaged. A new character was patched into the game a few days ago with “The Electro Shock Update 2.02”. “Electro Griffin” is an adaptation of the already known trapper Griffin, who has exchanged a large part of his equipment for weapons with additional lightning effects.
Let’s take a brief look at the abilities of Electro Griffin:
The weapon The Laser Storm is a machine gun that deals low damage but simultaneously applies a slowing effect on the monster.
The harpoon The Final Lockdown restricts the monster’s movement and deals damage while it is embedded in it.
Nothing has changed about the Sound Spikes. These are still placed on the map and alert the hunters as soon as the monster is nearby.
Even the last ability, the Planet Scanner, is identical to those of the other trappers. It reveals in which direction the monster is located and grants a temporary speed boost.
As Electro Griffin is an adaptation, all former buyers of the game get this character for free. However, those who want to purchase the character individually can acquire him for 8,000 Silver Keys (the in-game currency).
Digital Extremes, developer of the third-person space shooter Warframe, was confronted last week with a data breach from 2014.
Action…
The Canadian developer Digital Extremes, which is responsible for the free-to-play shooter Warframe, was hacked in November 2014.
At that time, they were working with the content management system Drupal, which is mainly used for organizing websites and has been used to create the online presence of the White House or Amnesty International, among others.
The security breach at that time occurred through a Drupal SQL (database language) vulnerability, which Drupal fixed two weeks after its discovery. However, Digital Extremes only became aware of the actual data breach last week through unknown sources.
“Give me your data”
After a thorough analysis of the data made accessible to the developer, it emerged that a total of 775,749 email addresses of players were stolen. However, Digital Extremes emphasizes that this does not include account passwords, game data, or personal information such as name, address, or financial data.
… and Reaction
“We take account and game security very seriously and are constantly working on improving and closing any security gaps we find,” said community coordinator Drew. “As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the security of Warframe, we have implemented two-factor authentication (2FA) over the last 1.5 years and replaced Drupal with a custom website system that does not store account information to protect against such attacks.”
Two-factor authentication occurs, among other things, in everyday life at ATMs, as only the combination of bank card and PIN allows the transaction to take place. Generally speaking, it is a system for verifying identity that relies on two specific, independent factors.
A better encryption makes it safer and more difficult
By the way, 2FA is not available for console players, but only for PC users of the shooter. This is because Xbox One and PS4 do not store passwords and emails on their servers, as their accounts are created via Microsoft or Sony, and the developer only receives their email address if they register for the newsletter.
Although “only” the email addresses were stolen, Digital Extremes advises all players to change their passwords regularly. Furthermore, they warn against phishing sites and email scams that crave your password, as you should never be asked for it outside of the Warframe.com login by official sources.

Improve your trainer level in Pokémon GO easily with common Pokémon.
If you have a higher trainer level in Pokémon GO, you will eventually get better Pokémon. That’s why many aspiring Pokémon trainers are trying to collect experience points to strengthen their collection with stronger monsters. You can see that leveling up the trainer level is worth it when you look at the rewards for reaching level 30 in Pokémon GO.
Using the Lucky Egg correctly
Many of you already know that you level up fastest with a Lucky Egg. However, many trainers do not consider that the frequently appearing Pokémon can be a great help. Because these Pokémon appear so often in the game, you also get a lot of candies and you can evolve many of them. While you are under the effect of the Lucky Egg, you will earn tons of experience points.
Reddit user BCHN has programmed a calculator that helps you make the most of the Lucky Egg. On the PidgeyCalc website (Pidgey calculator), you will be helped to maximize experience points while using a Lucky Egg. To do this, you just need to select a Pokémon you have many copies or candies of, enter the number of Pokémon and candies, and let it calculate how to best use the “resources”. The calculator will also tell you whether using a Lucky Egg is worth it at all.
In my case, I entered 13 Pidgeys and 78 candies there. According to the calculator, that alone is not a reason to use a Lucky Egg. You should first catch more Pidgeys or evolve other Pokémon.
If you have many Pokémon that you can evolve, then there are many experience points for you and you will receive these rewards for leveling up in Pokémon GO.
In The Division the vendors receive a new offer today, on July 23rd. We take a look at the inventory of the high-level vendors.
On the night from Friday to Saturday, the big vendor reset takes place in The Division. Since the Underground expansion on PC and Xbox, there is a seller with high-quality items that PS4 agents still have to do without. Otherwise, the offers are consistent across all platforms.
The offer from the special equipment vendor on July 23rd.

In the coming days, we should look forward to more information about Kled and his friend (?), as the first teasers came quickly.
