“VR Porn”-Messe wegen zu großem Besucherandrang abgebrochen

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Japan, a trade fair focused on pornography in virtual reality had to be canceled shortly after opening for safety reasons due to an overwhelming number of attendees.

Virtual reality is gradually gaining significance and public interest. Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR are becoming increasingly exciting for users. Even MMO fans should keep an eye on the technology, as such a stylish VR headset offers the chance to dive even deeper into beloved online worlds one day.

However, it is not only the gaming industry that is curious about VR. Especially searches for the term “VR Porn” have increased significantly in recent months. The level of interest in such applications is illustrated by a bizarre event in Japan.

“VR Porn” festival canceled due to excessive visitors

In Japan, a “VR Porn” event had to be canceled “for safety reasons.” During this festival, the topics of virtual pornography and VR sex were to be presented as vividly as possible with corresponding practical examples.

“I won’t miss this,” some interested individuals probably thought, flocking to this event in droves. Japanese media is now reporting that the overwhelming number of attendees led to the early cancellation of the festival.

According to a visitor’s experience report, the city was practically flooded with crowds. He constantly had to think about a possible mass panic, as so many people were hardly manageable.

On the Japanese blog 20to4000.hatenablog.com, you can find some pictures from this fair – and what all you could see and test there.

In this article, we will take a closer look at the PlayStation VR and list the known details.

Here we present five interesting PSVR games that are expected to be released this year.

Black Desert Online – Templates – How to play as Jesus, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Daenerys

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Black Desert Online has the most powerful and versatile character editor ever seen in an online role-playing game. However, the many options can overwhelm some players. Fortunately, there are handy “templates” that provide us with especially cool character designs.

In Black Desert Online, our imagination knows almost no bounds when creating characters, but sometimes we just wish for some particularly cool templates to spark our creativity. Fortunately, there are templates for exactly this purpose. These are designs that can be saved and shared as their own files. You just need to load them into the character editor in Black Desert Online, and you can tinker with the creations of other players or even take them over completely.

Black-Desert-Online-Templates01
“Where’s the action?” Even Arnie is available as a warrior template.

The website bdotemplates.com hosts hundreds of such templates, neatly sorted by class type and featuring a leaderboard of the most popular templates. Among the templates, there are many personal creations as well as numerous recreations of well-known characters from other stories and games, or BDO variants of famous personalities. Want some examples?

Black-Desert-Online-Templates02
Is that….Geralt? A touch of The Witcher in Black Desert Online.
  • Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Ciri from the Witcher series are available in several variants.
  • From the bloody fantasy epic Game of Thrones, there are, among others, dragon queen Daenerys and the powerful Dothraki lord Khal Drogo.
  • Walter “Heisenberg” White from the series Breaking Bad is available as a nasty bald wizard.
  • The actors Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are also available as templates for especially cool badass heroes!
  • If you’ve always wanted to be the Son of God, you will also find Jesus (or he will find you!). The perfect template for a guild leader!
Black-Desert-Online-Templates05
Heisenberg as a bald wizard? No problem!

How do the templates get into the game?

After just a few minutes on the templates page, it’s clear: “I need these templates!” But how do you get the templates into the finished game? It’s much less complicated than you might think. Just follow these steps:

  • First, download the corresponding template from bdotemplates.com.
  • Save the file in unpacked state under the following path: C:Users[username]DocumentsBlack DesertCustomization
  • Now start Black Desert Online and select the class from which the template originates.
  • The typical hero of the selected class will appear, click the “Load File” button at the bottom of the screen.
  • Select the template of your choice and load it.
  • Now you can either apply the chosen design or tweak it a bit, for example, give Arnold Schwarzenegger green hair and a mustache.
Black-Desert-Online-Templates04
Dragon queen Daenerys is also among the templates.

So much for the templates and designs of Black Desert Online. Have you already gotten some or even uploaded your own templates from your heroes? And what character would you like to see in Black Desert Online? Write it in the comments and let us know!

Overwatch: Blizzard sues German cheat programmer

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard is suing a cheat manufacturer for Overwatch cheating software. And once again, it comes from Germany.

Quality Cheats from Germany – Sued in California?

Groundhog Day. The legal dispute between the German software developer Bossland and Blizzard is entering a new round. After it was already made clear at the beginning of last month that there is actually only one major cheating software for Overwatch and it comes from Germany, Blizzard has now sued the manufacturer Bossland again.

WoW-Bot

The cheat program allows you to see the positions of all enemies and allies on an additional radar, as well as display the distance to your character – ambushes have become virtually impossible.

A small catch has arisen though. Since Blizzard filed the lawsuit in California, Bossland faces little judicial danger – what a California court says about a German cheat manufacturer is likely of little concern to Bossland. At least the CEO of Bossland, Zwetan Letschew, is relatively calm about the situation.

For only 13 euros a month, you become the hated game spoiler.
For only 13 euros a month, you become the hated game spoiler.

Mein-MMO states: Quality made in Germany. Joking aside, it is actually quite sad that such providers even have a market, as it only shows how many players are willing to pay real money for an unfair advantage – fully aware that they take the fun away from all other players. Since the mentality of some players is unlikely to change, it would be nice if this issue would finally be a thing of the past and some parts of the terms of service would indeed be binding. Until then: Stay fair, then the fun will be greatest for everyone.

WoW: Legion – Itemlevel in Legion: Wo gibt es welche Ausrüstung?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Where can you find the best gear in Legion? We will reveal to you where to get the strongest equipment in the new WoW add-on.

Good gear comes from many sources

With World of Warcraft: Legion, a lot changes in Blizzard’s MMORPG. Especially the traditional item system blurs a bit, as good gear comes from many different sources. However, there is a certain guideline showing where to get which equipment. To help you roughly plan how and where to collect your gear, we have created a list that indicates where to get equipment for the various types of content.

Starting Gear (“blue” – rare) Item Level
Normal Dungeons805
World Quests805
Quests in Suramar (Level 110 Zone)815
Heroic Dungeons825
Advanced Gear (“purple” – epic)
 
Group Finder Raids (“LFR”)835
Mythic Dungeons840
Raids (normal)850
World Bosses860
Raids (heroic)865
Raids (mythic)880

Also remember that PvP gear starts at item level 810 – depending on your rating, you will receive better gear when you win in the arenas and battlegrounds.

Similar applies to the crafters. They can already create “level gear” with item level 715 at the start at level 100 and then craft high-level gear for the endgame. With the new material Obliterum, an item level of 850 can be reached.

WoW Legion Itemlevel Table

A user on Reddit has summarized this list in a clear graphic.

Please note that almost all items are subject to a new system that allows them to be upgraded randomly multiple times. This is to keep “old content”, like instances, interesting for experienced players, so they can occasionally receive an upgrade.

For more about the latest World of Warcraft expansion, you can find it on our Legion overview page.

division-untergrund-outfit
Starting today, the Ubi30 outfits should also be available.

What is coming on July 5th?

The following information can be found in the changelog:

  • The content of update 1.3 is coming for all PS4 players. However, the content of the Underground expansion will not be activated. This will come on August 2nd.
  • A bug is fixed that caused high-value targets to be capped at level 30 and not drop target data.
  • A bug will be addressed that allowed players to replay the final battle and loot by dying after the fight.
  • Server instabilities that disconnected players from the servers will be resolved.

FIFA 17 Demo: Release, Teams and Game Modes – Leak Provides Hints

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In the upcoming football simulation FIFA 17, the rumor mill is boiling and currently serving up a mysterious leak about the demo. The release date, playable teams, stadiums, and game modes are mentioned.

Update: If you’re looking for information about the FIFA 20 demo, you can find it here.

In recent years, demo versions have always been released a few weeks before the launch of each FIFA installment on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. Therefore, it is not too far-fetched to claim that FIFA 17 will also have a demo before the release of the main game.

fifa-17-mourinho

The fan page Fifplay currently provides concrete information about the “FIFA 17” demo. It is not specified where they got their information from. Since many large gaming sites are reporting on this “leak”, we don’t want to withhold this information from you either.

Are the release date, teams, stadiums, and game modes of the “FIFA 17” demo?

According to the leak, the demo will be available for download between September 12 and 14 for all platforms.

According to Fifplay, you can play with the following teams in the demo:

  • Real Madrid
  • FC Barcelona
  • Borussia Dortmund
  • FC Bayern
  • Juventus
  • Inter Milan
  • Manchester City
  • Manchester United
  • PSG
  • LA Galaxy

The game modes are:

Stadiums:

  • Old Trafford
  • Suita City

Regarding the Game Settings, the following details are provided:

  • Half Length: 4 minutes
  • Difficulty Levels: Pro and World Class
  • Season: Autumn
  • Weather: Rain, Clear (Dynamic)
  • Time of Day: Day/Night

A few weeks ago, a graphic circulated that was supposed to show information about the FIFA 17 demo. However, the details on this graphic differ from the ones listed above.

Therefore, all information mentioned here from the rumor mill should be taken with a grain of caution. Whether they are correct cannot be determined until an official statement from EA Sports is made.

One thing is certain: FIFA 17 will be released on September 29, 2016, for PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360.

On our FIFA theme page, you will be provided with all information and news about FIFA 17. There you will also find our first impressions of FIFA 17, which we were able to play already.

SMITE: Neuer Gott Erlang Shen bringt seinen Hund mit

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

A new god enters the arena of SMITE: Erlang Shen will appear this week – with his dog.

Erlang Shen – The Elevated Sage

In time for the start of summer, there is a new Chinese god in SMITE. Erlang Shen takes up the spear as a warrior and leads his dog into battle.

Let’s take a brief look at his abilities:

  • The passive ability Howling Celestial Dog describes the dog that permanently accompanies Erlang Shen. Whenever Erlang performs an auto attack, the dog also strikes for 15% of his master’s damage. The dog can land critical hits and trigger item effects, but only at 15% of their original strength.
  • Spot Weakness is a powerful self-buff. For 5 seconds, all of Erlang Shen’s attacks deal additional damage, and the attack penalty on movement speed is ignored. As long as the ability is on cooldown, each auto attack reduces the cooldown – allowing it to be kept active permanently, given sufficient mana.
Smite God Card Illustrious Erlang Shen
  • Pin lives up to its name. Erlang Shen pins his spear into the target area, dealing damage. Enemies in the center of the effect are briefly immobilized and crippled.
  • 72 Transformations allows Erlang to dash forward quickly, triggering one of two effects – Ferret or Turtle. Ferret: All enemies he touches take damage. Upon contact with the first enemy god, he transforms back and gains additional attack speed for 6 seconds. Turtle: All enemies he touches take damage and are knocked up. Additionally, Erlang receives a shield for some health points.
  • The ultimate ability 9 Turns Blessing taunts all enemies before Erlang Shen for a short time – they are forced to attack him. For 4 seconds, Erlang Shen takes less damage (up to 15%). If he is still alive at the end of the effect, he will be healed for a large amount.

Erlang Shen already appears to be the bane of any squishy character, capable of competing with assassins like Loki effortlessly. Especially with items that grant additional attack speed, he slices through mages and hunters in seconds.

New Skins and Balancing Changes

Of course, new skins are also on the way, as Bellona, Khepri, and Fenrir will receive new looks that can be earned through the event “Summer of Smite”.

  • Smite God Card Rock a Bellona
  • Smite God Card Chefs Special Khepri
  • Smite God Card Iron Maw Fenrir

Alongside the patch, there will also be some changes to existing gods. Aphrodite will enjoy a new passive ability that grants her additional protection, based on the number of allies nearby. Vulcan will now receive a mana and speed buff whenever he hits an enemy with an ability.

A full list of all changes can be found in our sources. The patch will be released this week if no major bugs are found.

Black Desert – Camel Guide – How to get the Desert Ship in Valencia!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In Black Desert Online, the latest DLC Valencia literally sends us into the desert, and a proper camel is simply the done thing there. But how does one acquire such a desert ship? Read it in our Camel Guide!

“A kingdom for a camel!” may be what some players of Black Desert Online are sighing in frustration because, in the desert region of Valencia, it is not exactly clear where the modest animals with humps roam and where to buy them. But fortunately, some resourceful players of the sandbox online RPG have searched long enough and found a quest giver who even gives us a desert ship for free!

Black-Desert-Online-Camel02
Here you can find your free camel!

The following guide and the images come from the official forum of Black Desert Online from the user “LycaBloodhunt”. For free camels, you only need to follow these steps:

  • First, make sure you have reached at least level 55.
  • Go to Valencia to the “Sand Grain Bazaar”.
  • Look for the Stable Master “Bochlo” there and make sure all quests are displayed, otherwise, you may not see the camel quest.
  • Bochlo is a big fan of camels and wants to teach you everything possible about the creatures. For this, you will need 15 energy and about 10 minutes of gameplay for the following quest.
  • Once you have completed the quest, in addition to the usual rewards, you will also receive a voucher for a free camel!
Black-Desert-Online-Camel01
Here is the quest giver Bochlo.

So you see, with very little effort, there is already a simple but sturdy camel for the very small budget (it is free!). Important note: The feature “Trade your horse for a camel” does not seem to be available yet in the western version of Black Desert Online. But until we can exchange our horses for practical camels, the free beginner camel should suffice for now.

Overwatch: Point deduction despite victory? Blizzard fixes “Reconnect” error

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In Overwatch disconnects automatically count as a defeat – even if you return quickly. A patch is in the works.

Statistical defeat despite clear victory

Overwatch Torbjörn Firebreath

In the new ranked mode of Overwatch, which is now live on both PC and the two consoles, there are ongoing complaints and issues. A particularly frustrating error often occurs when players lose connection during a ranked match (for whatever reasons) and then rejoin the game.

Although they resume the game in a timely manner and then manage to win, they receive a defeat in their statistics. This leads to a lost placement match or a decrease in skill rating.

Overwatch Jeff Kaplan fix

While it is certainly intended for “rage quitters” who leave a game early to receive a defeat, this should not be the case for honest players who return quickly. Fans are quite upset on Reddit and in the official forum, prompting Jeff Kaplan to issue a statement: A patch is likely to be released this week that will fix these issues.

Since Kaplan speaks of “fixes”, it can be assumed that other problems will also be addressed by the patch. We will report on this as soon as there are concrete details.

Mein-MMO says: An issue that has likely cost many players ranks. One can only hope that the patch will also address other growing pains of the ranked mode. On the other hand, Blizzard has announced that the first season is a test season and that some complications must be expected. However, it is reassuring that patches are being released at such a rapid frequency. Perhaps Mercy will also be treated better in the ranked system.

Spending every free minute on Mein-MMO is desirable, but unfortunately not always possible. For this reason, we want to present to you weekly the most popular articles from the last 7 days.

To ease your mind: Destiny and The Division have of course reserved the top spots for a long time, yet the weekly recap should be a bit more balanced. Thus, the articles presented here are all popular, but do not necessarily represent positions 1-10.

Neither of the two shooters made it to place 1. With a narrow lead of under 50 page views, a news article about PlayStation Plus won. Those who subscribe to this service receive some games from Sony for free every month.

Bungie’s announcement of an upcoming event was enough for place 3. A very close result, perhaps the game will manage to climb a rung higher on the winner’s podium next week.

When the delayed patch can be expected to release on PS4 was initially unclear. Just a few days ago, Massive announced that July 5th would be the cut-off date. We summarize clearly what will change for PS4 players starting tomorrow – and what will not.

What PS4 agents have to wait for until August 2nd

What PS4 agents receive with Update 1.3

  • AlphaBridge Gear Set: While PS4 players have to wait for four sets, at least one is available to them, the AlphaBridge set.
  • New High-end Weapons and Weapon Types: From July 5th, all new weapons can be obtained, including the Showstopper, the G36 assault rifles, and the Paratrooper SVD.
  • Two new missions receive the Challenge Mode: Hudson Refugee Camp and Queens Tunnel Camp.
  • Heroic Mode: The new highest difficulty level is selectable in some missions and in the two old raids.
  • Weapon Upgrade: With Update 1.3, players can reroll weapon talents.
  • All weapon balance changes.
  • A new Dark Zone class with 231+ Gear Score.
  • The inventory will be expanded to 70 slots.
  • High-end Division tech can be exchanged for high-end crafting materials.
  • Numerous bug fixes, including adjustments to the “Watch’s Call” and “Assault Gear of the Striker” set. You can find all new features and changes in the patch notes 1.3.

Additionally:

Each piece of equipment now has a fixed number of mod slots:

  • Chest: 2 mod slots
  • Mask: 1 mod slot
  • Knee pads: 1 mod slot
  • Backpack: 1 mod slot
  • Gloves: 0 mod slots
  • Holster: 0 mod slots, but they have all three attributes.

Furthermore, the patch notes state that with Update 1.3, starting tomorrow, PS4 agents will also receive the Operations Base expansion. The terminal is a new social area in the base, which you can reach via a very unpopular staircase or via fast travel. Here you will find vendors and access to Underground missions.

Beta Test for PS4?

In forums and comment sections, PS4 users often mention that the delays of Update 1.3 and the expansion are not a big deal. They say that Xbox and PC agents are testing for PS4 players, jokingly referring to a current “beta test phase”.

This comparison is actually not entirely wrong – after patch 1.3, some problems occurred, which the developers are currently working on. Some of them have already been fixed, others are still being investigated. For some, a fix is already ready.

So far, it is still not officially known when the patch will be released tomorrow. It is likely that maintenance will take place from 9 am to 12 pm. As soon as the servers are back online, the update will probably run. The developers might also use this downtime to push some fixes that PS4 agents will directly benefit from.

We will report on the specific procedure for installing the patch on PS4 by tomorrow morning at the latest. Possibly we will also update this article promptly.

Update: Patch comes tomorrow for PS4. Server downtime from 9 am to 12 pm. As expected.

Xbox Scorpio: So stark wie ein Gaming-PC – laut Witcher-Entwickler

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz from CD Projekt RED, the developers of The Witcher, believes that the upcoming Xbox Scorpio will be as powerful at release as a current gaming PC. The question is, for how long?

In general, the progress of PC performance advancements occurs at a faster pace than that of consoles. While new graphics cards are released rapidly, consoles are expected to remain relevant for several years. Therefore, gaming consoles have quickly gained a reputation for lagging behind PCs.

xbox-scorpio-technik

With the Xbox Scorpio, a console is set to be released in 2017 that is on par with current gaming PCs. At least that is what Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, who works at the developer studio CD Projekt RED, anticipates. However, he also believes that this parity will not last for long.

Xbox Scorpio – on par with the PC

In an interview with GamingBolt magazine, Tomaszkiewicz discusses Microsoft’s new Xbox:

This is my personal opinion: I don’t know much about it. I think PCs are developing super fast. New graphics cards are released very frequently, faster than new consoles. Therefore, I think Scorpio will be on par with PCs. But I believe that PCs will evolve so quickly that they will have surpassed Scorpio soon.

Whether and in what form Tomaszkiewicz’s assessment will turn out to be true remains to be seen. Since E3 2016, it has been known that Scorpio will come with a lot of processing power. Here we summarize all information about the Xbox Scorpio.

Guild Wars 2: Entwickler denken über PvP-PvE-Skill-Splitting nach

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Bringing PvP and PvE together in an MMORPG is no easy task. Therefore, the developers of the MMO Guild Wars 2 are considering skill-splitting.

Those who enjoy completing PvE content in an MMO want to carry out their quests in peace and not be constantly attacked by PvP players. Many game developers are aware of this dilemma and struggle with how to implement a meaningful PvP mode in an MMO that also thrives on PvE. They want to satisfy both sides and not cause player frustration.

Guild Wars 2 Scrapper Shock Shield
Less grinding and faster successes are on the agenda.

PvP Splits Off

For this reason, many developers separate their games into a PvE and a PvP area. PvP is only possible when challenging other players who agree. Or one fights in special zones. Guild Wars 2 offers a separate PvP mode that is so well received that it is active in the esports area. However, every character can still improve in both areas. Those who only play PvP do not need the entire PvE burden.

For this reason, ArenaNet is currently considering completely separating PvE skills from PvP abilities in Guild Wars 2. If one wishes to play only PvP, they only need to focus on the PvP skills. They have developed an internal technology that would make this possible. However, this splitting would have global consequences. Players would be forced to choose one path.

Nothing is Certain Yet

Guild Wars 2 PvP

Currently, the developers are considering whether this is a good idea and how to maintain balancing. Additionally, they are uncertain if they really want to give up the synergies between PvP and PvE, or if there is a way to maintain them in certain cases. With an upcoming update for Guild Wars 2, players will already experience initial effects of this skill-splitting – likely serving as a sort of trial run.

Andreas says:

ArenaNet’s idea is a double-edged sword. Generally, PvP struggles in the genre. MMOs with open PvP occupy a niche, and more and more games significantly limit PvP. Another splitting could lead to PvP becoming even more isolated from the genre and increasingly a separate game mode. However, can one imagine MMORPGs without “integrated” PvP?

However, it must be said that players share some of the blame for this development. Those who play in MMOs with open PvP know how it can be and that it can indeed deter new players.

Destiny: Devil’s Splicer – How to fight against the new enemies?

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny, the developers reveal information about the “Splicers”, the new enemies from “The Rise of Iron”. How do you fight against the AI?

There are Splicers in every Fallen House. These are “Bodyhackers and Bioengineers” who can fuse metal and flesh. The Fallen have always had a penchant for this extraordinary combination, which is why they worship Machine Gods.

Now the Splicers from the House of Devils have obtained an ultimate, forbidden technology from the Golden Age: SIVA. Thanks to SIVA, they can become Machine Gods themselves, as they have achieved breakthroughs in self-replicating nanotechnology.

destiny-rise-servitor

In “Rise of Iron”, it is now your task to stop the Devil Splicers in the Corrupted Lands and contain the SIVA outbreak. But how do you fight against Machine Gods?

Devil Splicers – The New Enemies in Destiny

The Fallen Devils have been corrupted by SIVA – which is the central mystery in the Autumn expansion. Now the Fallen not only look different, but they also have some new abilities and tricks, as Scott Taylor, the executive producer, reveals in a conversation with vg247.

When you face them, they initially resemble the Fallen as you know them since the launch of Destiny. Taylor:

If you’ve fought against the Fallen, you know how to start the battle against them; then you’ll see little tricks and differences. You need to adjust your strategy accordingly.

destiny-gefallene-rise

Taylor sees similarities in the AI of the Devil Splicers with other aspects of “Rise of Iron”. For instance, the Wall, where every Guardian’s journey began, reappears – only this time the wall is broken. Lord Saladin also returns – but this time in a different role and location. We also experience the return of the Gjallarhorn – with a different coat of paint.

And so you will encounter the Devil Splicers along with Fallen, who will surprise you, according to the producer. When you play the expansion, he predicts some wow moments with the new enemies. He does not go into detail about what strategies you will need to use against them.

Furthermore, the Splicers will experience some aesthetic updates: their sound is very cool and they are supposed to differ from the previously known factions in their silhouette. In the trailer and screenshots, we have already seen some types of enemies of the Splicers.

In the Fallen Houses, there are clear hierarchies: the Vandals stand above the Outcasts, and the Captains hold an even higher rank. According to Taylor, you will learn about new structures with the Splicers.

What do you expect from the Devil Splicers and the dangers that SIVA will bring?

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time < 1 minutes

Dark Souls 3 finished: Faraaz Khan sets a perfect world record while others struggle with the bosses.

Dark Souls 3 is a game often associated with frustration or anger due to its particularly high difficulty. Not many players manage to see the actual end of Dark Souls 3 – the achievement displayed by Faraaz Khan in his run is all the more commendable.

No hits and no death!

In the following video, you can watch Faraaz Khan set a world record in Dark Souls 3. Not even during boss fights does he get hit, and he completes the game in an impressive time of just over 2 hours. The joy is immense when the message “Lord of Cinder fallen” appears on the screen. To see the final fight, you can skip to around 2 hours and 13 minutes in the video.

The Division: 250+ Gear Score – So levelt Ihr Euch solo oder im Team

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, we provide tips and tricks on how to quickly increase your Gear Score in the Underground. This works both solo and in a team.

With update 1.3, the maximum gear score increased. Armor pieces can now reach the new maximum limit of 268, and weapons can reach 229. There are various ways to acquire items with maximum values:

  • Through HVTs
  • In the new Dark Zone class 231+, from boss drops and even in DZ crates
  • In the new and old raids on the corresponding difficulty levels
  • In the Underground
    division-untergrund-feinde

The most efficient way to level up your Gear Score

According to Arekkz Gaming, there is a way to level up your score that is by far the most efficient: the Underground. You can complete the Underground missions solo or in a team, although a strike team is recommended: Because as a lone wolf, you won’t progress as quickly and have no one to revive you in case of emergency.

division-cache-underground

When you play the missions, you will gradually level up in the Underground rank. And now the special part: With each rank increase, you receive Underground containers, which function like the Sealed Containers in the Dark Zone. With each container, you have the chance to obtain an item with the max Gear Score. If you actively play the Underground and quickly climb the ranks, you will be delivered one chance after another to snag the top-tier items.

But beware: Massive shared in a livestream that the contents of these containers depend on your current score. Arekkz himself was already at 225. This is enough to receive items with max level. It is uncertain at what value the best items will drop from these containers.

division-untergrund-loot

However, they are excellent for leveling up your score – no matter what base score you have. If you open enough of them, you will soon exceed 250. The Underground containers are your key to efficiently boosting your score. Since you can also play Underground missions solo, you are not dependent on a strike team – as is the case in the Incursions.

However, you earn more experience points for completing Underground missions when you increase the difficulty and modify them. Therefore, the most efficient solution is a strong strike team with which you go into the Underground:

  • Normal: 500 XP
  • Hard: 750 XP
  • Challenging: 1000 XP
  • Heroic: 1250 XP

With directives, you can make the missions harder, which grants you additional XP upon completion.

division-untergrund-feuer

The Underground containers can also be randomly dropped by enemies. Tip: If you receive items with high Gear Scores that do not match your build, it is still worth equipping them. This increases your chance of obtaining better items in the next container.

Additionally: Each of your characters has an individual Underground rank. You therefore receive the tasty loot containers with each character when you level up.

With a bit of luck, you can already have a strong setup in the Underground after just a few hours.
