One of the largest German football clubs, Schalke 04, is said to have bought a spot in the LCS tournament of League of Legends.
As reported by EsportsObserver, Schalke 04 is said to have bought the LCS spot from the European team “Elements”. They had already tried to sell their LCS spot in 2015 but could not find a buyer within the specified timeframe.
Schalke would not be the first football club in e-sports
Team Elements 2015
Although EsportsObserver reports that several sources confirm this deal between Schalke and Elements, there is still no official statement from Schalke 04. The deal is allegedly set to be officially confirmed over the course of the week.
Other clubs like VFL Wolfsburg or West Ham have also invested in e-sports and bought FIFA players to represent them in major tournaments. Other sports clubs like Besiktas Istanbul are investing in e-sports as well and had their own LoL team in 2015. It would indeed be a significant step for e-sports in Germany if this deal turns out to be true in the coming days. However, whether Team Elements will remain as it is now is uncertain.

We tell you in our guide how to become a proper tank with Reinhardt in Overwatch .
The German tank Reinhardt
The open beta of Overwatch is in full swing, and we are currently focusing on some of the most popular heroes. Naturally, we also dedicate a small article to the German representative of the 21 heroes, Reinhardt. In this guide, we want to provide you with some general tips and tricks regarding his playstyle, so that you can dominate the battlefield with his Rocket Hammer.

The Barrier Field – A safe harbor for the whole team
Reinhardt’s Barrier Field absorbs an impressive 2000 damage points and provides protection from most abilities. Enemies cannot shoot through the barrier, but allies can! Keep this in mind and protect your team or particularly vulnerable characters like Bastion, Widowmaker, or your healers.
The Barrier Field regenerates 2 seconds after you have deployed it, gaining 225 shield energy per second. However, if the barrier is completely destroyed, you cannot deploy it for 3 seconds! So it is usually better to deploy the barrier just before it breaks.
Not all attacks are intercepted by the Barrier Field! Symmetra and Winston can shoot past the barrier with their weapons, and Reinhardt’s Fire Strike also penetrates the barrier.
The Rocket Hammer – Powerful melee weapon
The Rocket Hammer hits all enemies in Reinhardt’s line of sight for 75 damage points. During the swing, you can still turn, so don’t hesitate to look around to hit more enemies.
The hits from the Rocket Hammer have a slight knockback. This is minimal, but can be enough to knock people off an edge.
Reinhardt’s Charge is quite tempting. Most players feel the urge to charge forward – but be careful. You are the tank of the group; if you charge ahead, the team has little chance to follow and loses its protective shield.
Use Charge only when you are sure you can hit a target! Charge deals 50 damage and 300 additional damage if you slam an opponent against a wall – this kills almost all non-tanks immediately. However, if you miss, you are often dead immediately – because Reinhardt’s movement is sluggish and he is briefly stunned when he hits a wall. That’s enough time for the German knight to be taken down.
Watch out for Roadhog and McCree! Both can easily interrupt your Charge. Roadhog uses his Chain Hook for this, while McCree uses his Flashbang, which quickly ends your attack and leaves you defenseless.
A charging enemy Reinhardt can be countered with your own Charge. When the two collide, both characters are stunned for a brief moment.
Fire Strike – The only option for ranged attack
Fire Strike is your only chance to deal damage at range. The 100 damage points penetrate any barrier and hit all targets in their path.
Fire Strike can cancel the animation of your melee attack. This allows you to effectively “hit-and-run” a Tracer (or other heroes with low health) by hitting them first and then performing Fire Strike during the swing animation.
Earthshatter – The ultimate cleanup
Earthshatter is, when used correctly, one of the most devastating ultimates in the game. In a cone area in front of Reinhardt, all enemies are stunned for 2.5 seconds and knocked down, rendering them completely incapacitated.
Note that both the damage and the stun from Earthshatter require line of sight. Obstacles like walls or the payload will intercept the effect, as will the shield of an enemy Reinhardt or Winston.
While the primary benefit of Earthshatter is the stun, it also deals 50 damage points. Don’t forget this if you want to deal the final blow to an important enemy when your Fire Strike is still on cooldown.
A typical “ultimate combo” would be Earthshatter followed by a Fire Strike. If you aim Fire Strike just above the ground, it can hit several downed enemies. After that, you can still swing the hammer 1-2 more times or easily finish off a particularly large target with Charge.
Do you have any further tips and hints for Reinhardt? Share them with us in the comments!

Last week, the hero shooter Battleborn was the best-selling in the UK.
In the top 10 of the UK sales chart for the week ending May 7th, Battleborn is near the top. This marks the first game from publisher Take-Two to achieve such a high position since Grand Theft Auto was released over a year ago. This is according to the results from “Chart-Track”.
At number 2 on the list is Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, followed by Ratchet & Clank, the aforementioned Grand Theft Auto V, and Tom Clancy’s The Division, which lands in 5th place.
The ranking does not include digital sales, so it should be taken with caution. Battleborn is the only “new release” on this list. The last week was also summery in England, and sales figures dropped by 11%.

A new must-have item for the followers in Diablo 3 – we show you why it is so important: This is how you equip your Templar and Sorceress in Season 6.
Followers in Diablo 3 often receive far too little attention, especially the selection of certain items can provide a significant damage boost that will help you not only in Greater Rifts.
How to properly equip your followers in Diablo 3
The TEMPLAR is especially well-suited as a follower because he has various abilities and healing skills that can keep you alive longer in combat. If you don’t need these survival skills, the Sorceress is also a great option. However, what is special about this season are the changes to various items. In this guide, we particularly consider the changes to the Oculus Ring.
Before patch 2.4.1, the holder of the ring had to deliver the killing blow to a monster for the ring to trigger its special ability. Now, however, the ring activates this ability even when the follower wears it and you deliver the killing blow yourself. Additionally, the Oculus Ring has a low internal cooldown, meaning you will almost constantly have the “area of focused power” among the enemies. For solo Greater Rifts, this ring is now an absolute must!
The other items your follower wears are more optional:
As a weapon, you can choose to use Thunderfury to get an extra slow effect.
Johan’s Essence is a good choice as an amulet since it pulls enemies together.
For rings: Oculus Ring and Unity (if you need the extra damage reduction) or Wyrdward (for a chance at an additional stun).
You can fill the shield slot with Freezing Deflection – as it gives you a chance to stun enemies additionally.
To ensure your follower doesn’t die, you should choose the relic Enchanting Favor.
For the weapon, ensure it has high attack speed and cooldown reduction. The higher attack speed will trigger the item abilities more often. The cooldown reduction affects the abilities of the Templar.
You should not hire the Scoundrel as there is no useful weapon for this follower. Alternatively, you can choose the Sorceress instead of the Templar – however, when building skills, pay attention to whether you really need one of the Tier 1 talents, as these can be counterproductive to combat.

The crowdfunding financing of the space MMORPG Star Citizen is progressing cheerfully. Now the mark of 113 million US dollars has been broken.
Star Citizen is simply fascinating: The game, which began as the unofficial successor to the Wing Commander series with an online mode and a huge persistent universe, is increasingly evolving into a kind of ultimate space game. It’s no longer just about space battles and flights through space. Now you can even land on space stations and planets, walk around and engage in shooter battles.
113 million dollars!
Since many have been waiting for such a game, the crowdfunding financing is also progressing cheerfully. The mark of 113 million US dollars has now been broken. Last December, it was still 100 million dollars. So more than 13 million dollars have been raised in less than half a year.
The money is used to implement the vision of the game. And the developers want to stay true to this vision and assure fans that they will keep the promises made for the game.
Everyone on the team would basically be a gamer and would not only want to develop this game – whether as a programmer, designer, artist or in another position – everyone would also absolutely want to play it.
A lot has been achieved in recent months and the Alpha 2.4 is currently being prepared. With the upcoming update, the team will launch many systems live that will lay the foundation for some features that will make Star Citizen the MMO everyone wishes for. The speed at which Star Citizen is now getting new systems online will also continue to increase. A lot of experience has been gained, which also benefits the quality of the game.
Persistence is coming soon
This includes, for example, a system for customizing the hero with various outfits or the ability to attach weapons to ships. Work is also being done on the persistence system so that everything that happens in the game has lasting effects. In addition, testing is being conducted to ensure that everything really works well and is fun.
The work on Star Citizen is progressing well and the MMO is increasingly taking the form that one would expect from a finished product.

In Destiny guardians can earn ten special weapons by mastering the Challenge of the Elders. We present them here.
With the April update of Destiny, the Prison of Elders has been revamped: In addition to a 41 version of the Prison, Variks also invites you to the Challenge of the Elders.
The Challenge of the Elders is a weekly PvE event that you can participate in with three players without matchmaking. To participate, you need the “Elders’ Seal”, a points card that tracks your weekly progress. Additionally, you must have a minimum light level of 290, the recommended light level is 320. Through the Challenge of the Elders, you have the chance to earn ten legendary weapons that are exclusively available through this endgame content. We want to present these cool weapons, which were critically reviewed by PlanetDestiny.
Note: All of these weapons are Chroma-compatible. You can make them shine in various colors.
Let’s start with the legendary auto rifle Majestic Memento. The remaining 9 weapons will be presented on the following pages.
Majestic Memento
The Majestic Memento is an auto rifle with high power and reduced fire rate. With the April update, these slow auto rifles received a 2.3% damage boost, making the Majestic Memento a viable weapon in various game modes. Here are the specific stats: This weapon only comes with random perks. To take out enemies from a distance, you should hope for Scope Finder and Persistence. However, the perk Spray and Play can also be useful with its small magazine size, as it increases reload speed when the magazine is empty. Crowd Control is also practical.
For more range, the next perks to consider are Reinforced Barrel or Smallbore. Both perks reduce reload speed, so they can benefit from Spray and Play. If you already have Scope Finder or Persistence, then Fast Reload may be the better perk to quickly get bullets back into your enemies.
In another random selection, you have a chance at Hidden Hand (Improved target acquisition), Third Eye (Active radar while aiming down sights), and Half-Full Glass, which causes the second half of each magazine to do increased damage. With the right perks, the Majestic Memento can become an exciting auto rifle for many guardians.
Also exciting are the “Challenge of the Elders” weapons on the next pages. Here is the next weapon.

Should Blizzard offer Classic servers for World of Warcraft ? This question is currently on many minds.
What’s all this about these vanilla servers? The old WoW wasn’t that great anyway. What people want are feelings, experiences, and the numerous moments from back then that made World of Warcraft what it is today, but those times are simply over. You can’t just relive fragments of the past.
Why would anyone want to play such an outdated version of World of Warcraft?
This was my honest and straightforward opinion on the currently hotly debated topic surrounding legacy servers, particularly Nostalrius, the now shut down, and probably the most popular, private vanilla server of World of Warcraft. I was firmly convinced that World of Warcraft has evolved over time. If that doesn’t work for you, well, you can see where you end up. It all just seemed hysterical and wrong to me.
https://youtu.be/nu-JMqNTn-M
During WildStar, everyone was celebrating that there would be 40-man raids with a tough difficulty level, just like back in WoW, they said. In the end, the cheering masses somehow didn’t care much for all the “super cool” things they had loudly wished for. So what makes WoW different? Why are legacy servers and thus an absolutely outdated version still so popular and sought after today?
My parents had a problem with the subscription thing
Well, I deliberately said that my honest and straightforward opinion “was”, because it has changed quite a bit in recent days, to put it mildly, turned in circles and then planted both feet straight in the opposite direction. You must know that back in my youth (which thankfully is still not over), I started my journey in Azeroth not on an official server, but on a private one.
My parents were quite skeptical about the whole subscription thing, so I looked for an alternative. At that time, an early version of The Burning Crusade was available, still completely without a black temple.
Before I noticed this server, I had already spent many hours on the official servers, trying out all possible races and classes up to level 10 and got a taste for it. I really wanted to test this game properly, especially since after years of Guild Wars, I simply had the massive urge to hit the spacebar at least 200 times and jump around wildly. Some of you will surely understand me well there.
My time on a TBC private server was my best time in WoW
I spent many months full of fun and excitement on this manageable server, met nice people, and made friends with them. We played together for hours, mastered challenges, explored mysteries, uncovered secrets, and ultimately grew closer together. Even today, I remember this time quite positively and can say with confidence: I have never had a better time in World of Warcraft.
Not even then, when I could finally switch from the private server to an official one. Sure, The Burning Crusade without bugs, without hourly disconnects and with the wide, colorful player base of the official servers was brilliant, and I still consider Wrath of the Lich King a highlight of my “WoW career”, but somehow the decisive something was missing the whole time.
In search of something in WoW
This something, which I honestly still search for, will probably not come back anytime soon. This something that so many miss may be lost forever. The shared experience, exploration, and discovery of an unknown world in a time that couldn’t have been better for it.
The joint facing of challenges and dangers with people you encountered daily on Teamspeak, people who, over a long period, were not just “online contacts” but became friends. With these friends, you shared joy, frustration, ambition, and ultimately success.
What makes my first and still best time in World of Warcraft (The Burning Crusade) special was the mix of story, gameplay, and the people with whom I could enjoy all these things.
World of Warcraft has evolved
I have never been able to play classic WoW myself, but I believe I understand why many (former) players care so much about experiencing this version officially again. Even if you can’t bring back the epic adventures of the past, can’t turn back the wheel of time, and can’t send our youthful spirit back, Blizzard could at least reintroduce this version, connected with so many emotions, to some servers and make it available to passionate fans.
World of Warcraft has indeed evolved, has changed over time, removed and added many things. The original version is hardly comparable anymore. I can understand that Blizzard has lost some players in the end due to all these changes.
A chance for real, official legacy servers?
The dedicated team of Nostalrius accomplished exactly that for many fans. Without the thought of profit, they worked hard to fulfill this great wish for many players, at least for a while. I have great respect for such dedication and passion. That is truly a great compliment to the game itself and, of course, to all those behind its creation and development.
Currently, it is said, that Blizzard has indeed invited the team behind Nostalrius for a conversation. When this meeting will take place is not yet known at this point. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that in the end, everything will turn out well and that Blizzard might soften up and consider real, official legacy servers. I would certainly wish that for anyone who truly desires it.
The debate about Nostalrius has convinced me
Although I never really got to experience the vanilla World of Warcraft myself, I believe I can understand why it matters so much to you. Although I initially examined the whole debate with skepticism, after so many insights into the community and the successful speech by Mike Kern, I am convinced that legacy servers represent a good and increasingly indispensable option for Blizzard. Even I would risk a look, because I am definitely interested in the original WoW.
All in all, our positive memories will probably remain just memories. World of Warcraft has changed, has adapted, is better in many ways, but certainly also worse in some respects. Nevertheless, it will probably not disappear from the scene anytime soon, whether with legacy servers or without.
The good thing about this public discussion and the focus on the Nostalrius team is the opportunity for Blizzard to return to its roots, to exchange ideas with people who have obviously been there since the beginning, and to consider which paths can be taken in the future.
The declining player numbers are not necessarily fatal, but they are noticeable. Warlords of Draenor was anything but what many had wished for. Perhaps the longing for what’s tried and true is particularly strong right now because this time it was probably harder to be disappointed than in the past. Whether Legion can give players enough of what they wish for remains to be seen. However, I doubt that the debate about legacy servers will end anytime soon.
We can all be curious to see what might come of this whole matter.

In The Division, a player has now defeated the Incursion “Lost Eagles” in Challenge Mode.
Completing the Incursion “Lost Eagles” solo is already a challenge for most players in The Division, one that they are likely to tackle “someday,” but probably not in the near future. Even though some YouTubers are competing to see who can conquer it on “Hard” with the worst gear solo, for most average players, it’s an unimaginable feat.
Among these posts about Incursion solo kills, one occasionally reads: “Yeah, pff, it’s on hard! Anyone can do that! He should try it in Challenge Mode!” Now, the (probably) first player in The Division has actually achieved this. While some had managed it before, they did so using certain “glitches” that no longer work.
This is how the first successful run went after the most serious bugs were eliminated:

Hours upon hours, Matte Sandberg writes on YouTube, he spent on this. But all that time, as he desperately slammed his fists against the keyboard, only made the victory all the more delicious in the end.
This is the Build for the Incursion solo in Challenge Mode
For his success, he attributes it to being creative with his build, equipment, and skills. You can see what gear and abilities the agent specifically used in this image series.
The community pays respect. However, as often, a discussion erupts about the exact game mechanics: Is the Challenge Mode solo easier than with four players? Does it scale down? Are certain enemies missing? Players are debating back and forth on reddit. Additionally, console players say: Of course a PC player can do it; it’s much easier with aiming.
No matter how you look at it: it is certainly an impressive achievement. Congratulations!
The Korean version of Black Desert is getting a lot of new costumes. Sexy underwear cannot be missed…
Sexy Underwear, Chic Costumes and Cute Pandas
It is always just a matter of time until the updates from the Korean version of Black Desert also find their way to us Europeans, especially since Daum demonstrates a fairly aggressive patch policy. A patch has now been released for the original game version, which mainly expands the shop with many new items. This includes interesting costumes for Musa and Warrior but also a rather noble armor for the Valkyrie’s Awakening form.
Moreover, there are also – as it should be – plenty of new underwear to dress especially the ladies of Black Desert. Summer also invites to show a bit more skin. A video by YouTuber rendermax introduces you to the novelties that will initially only be available in Korea – apart from the shepherd dog, which the European version already has.

Overwatch attracts a lot of attention. Not just in gaming, but also on adult sites…
Tracer is “pretty popular”
You simply have to like the characters from Overwatch. That some players have a very special affection for the heroes is shown by a statistic from an unexpected source. The adult website Pornhub has published some charts showing how user search behavior changed during the days of the open beta of Overwatch.
On the past Thursday, right after the Open Beta of Overwatch started, the search queries containing the keyword “Overwatch” increased by a whopping 817%.
But it was also revealed what exactly users were searching for. The following chart clearly lists which terms were searched the most. It is also clearly evident: suggestive victory pose of Tracer or not – a part of the community has already decided what they want to see.
By the way, Googling these terms is done at your own risk. We assume no liability for any consequential damages.

The Park of Stormwind will be rebuilt in the upcoming WoW expansion Legion. A video shows it in all its glory.
A Monument for the Fallen
Some days ago, Blizzard announced that the Park of Stormwind will finally be rebuilt in the upcoming expansion World of Warcraft: Legion. It was devastated back in the days of “Cataclysm” by the dragon Deathwing – even today, the area is full of ruins, but that will soon come to an end.
The centerpiece of the new park is the monument of the fallen king, Varian Wrynn, who will lose his life in the events of Legion. Other monuments likely honor the other fallen who will succumb in the fight against the Burning Legion. Otherwise, the park has lost much of its “old” charm, having been largely replaced by paths, bushes, and hedges. The rounded waterfall is a sight to behold. At least role players will soon have a new meeting point in the city to enjoy some pleasant walks.

In The Division, the graffiti contributes to an authentic atmosphere in post-apocalyptic New York. In a video, the inspiration behind these expressive murals is discussed.
Massive has definitely shown an eye for detail in designing the game world. Any agent who walks through the streets of Manhattan with open eyes has already noticed dozens of different graffiti. Some are artistically valuable, while others can be dismissed as trash.
Amr Din talks in a video about the inspiration behind the graffiti that we can admire in The Division. He works as an authenticity coordinator for visual identity at Ubisoft. In a way, he ensures that the game world comes across as authentic and realistic.
In recent years, Din has visited many different places where people expressed themselves through graffiti. Here he found images of hope and despair, which he documented with his camera and shared with the developers of The Division.

With this realism, we, the players, are supposed to be even more touched by the atmosphere of the post-apocalypse. Feelings of danger, tension, fear, and despair, but also of hope, are to be conveyed.
The graffiti is intended to make it seem as if real people expressed their emotional lives in such an apocalyptic scenario.
With the recently announced Nvidia GTX 1080, the upcoming shooter Doom achieves extremely high FPS.
Nvidia presented the graphics cards GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 at their own event, promising high performance and energy efficiency. That these are not just empty words was immediately demonstrated: During the event, the presenters showcased what the GeForce GTX 1080 can extract from the upcoming shooter Doom.
Initially, they let Doom run at Ultra settings with stable 60 FPS at 1080 resolution. Already at the start, the graphics can be seen, but the presenter takes it a step further: He “unlocks” the frame rates and lets the frame frequency shoot up.
In the upper right corner of the screen, you can witness this spectacle yourself:

In FIFA 16 Ultimate Team, the players from Leicester City are currently available in TOTS or as FUT Heroes.
Since yesterday, the championship trophy for FC Bayern Munich is confirmed. While this title was not a big surprise for most soccer fans, a team in England turned the soccer world upside down: Leicester City won the championship in the Barclays Premier League a few days ago – after an extraordinary season in which they caused a stir.
Leicester City players receive Hero cards in FIFA 16
In the Team of the Season of the BPL EA Sports rewarded six of these champion players with special upgraded cards, which can be obtained this week in sets.
Now EA also honors the entire team performance of Leicester City and has created hero cards for those players who are not in the TOTS. These will be available in packs until Monday at 7 PM.
As EA Sports states, no one could have expected such a dream season from Leicester City at the launch of FIFA 16. However, players of the fresh BPL champions were not only rewarded at the end of the season in FIFA 16: FUT with improved cards; throughout the season, some special in-form cards were assigned to them.
Exemplary examples include the striker Jamie Vardy and RM Riyad Mahrez, who both started the season as silver players. After some in-form cards during the past months, they now received outstanding cards with overall ratings of 93 (Mahrez) and 91 (Vardy) with the TOTS.
Therefore, EA Sports notes:
What a difference a year can make.
Leicester City’s march in numbers in FIFA 16
In the 2014/15 season, Leicester City reached 15th place in the Premier League. A year later, they now greet from the top of the table. On this occasion, EA Sports created a graphic comparing some statistics from FIFA 15 with those from FIFA 16.
In FIFA 15, 36,265,400 games were played with Leicester City, in FIFA 16 a whopping 133,729,420. This is an increase of 269%!
Number of players who played with Leicester City: In FIFA 15, there were 3,959,660, in FIFA 16 a respectable 17,207,975. Here, there is even an increase of 335%.
Number of goals scored with Leicester City: In FIFA 15, there were 6,890,331, in FIFA 16 the ball hit the net 51,728,408 times. Increase of 651%!
Also in “Support your Club” there were significantly more supporters in FIFA 16 with 266,122 than in FIFA 15 with 82,393. Here was an increase of 223%.
The MMORPG Black Desert boasts its graphics and also gladly presents them in TV spots.
Many MMORPGs show little of the game in their commercials, Black Desert takes a different approach.
Visually, MMORPGs are usually not outstanding: They are designed to run on as many computers as possible for years. In the past, graphics rarely wowed anyone. Moreover, they are complex and the magic is often hard to capture: Not great material to create a nice 30-second commercial out of.
TV commercials for World of Warcraft, for example, relied more on personalities and stars, featuring William Shatner, Mister T, or Chuck Norris prominently while the game remained in the background. The Elder Scrolls Online also relies more on “real actors” than on game footage.

With Black Desert, one does not have such worries. The graphics look modern, almost photorealistic, making the landscape the star of the new TV commercial.
Of course, this advertisement also does not do justice to the game: the complex crafting and quest systems find no echo, but … that would be incredibly hard to portray in 30 seconds.

In the hero shooter Overwatch the beta has been extended.
This will be a short news: Blizzard is so pleased about the many feedback on Overwatch and finds it so valuable that they have extended the beta by 24 hours in order to receive even more feedback – those greedy ones. This is to be understood as a kind of “Thank you!” for all the “invaluable” feedback they have received from the beta, as stated in a post on Battle.net.
The open beta on PC, PS4, and Xbox One for everyone now ends on Tuesday, May 10th, at 7:00 PM our time. It was originally supposed to end on Monday at 7:00 PM.

In Destiny, a Guardian has managed to solo Oryx in the King’s Fall raid – and in Hard Mode! This masterpiece has been left for posterity on YouTube.
The YouTuber Esoterickk has apparently achieved the first Oryx solo kill in Hard Mode. His most important tool for this feat was the Sleeper Simulant fusion rifle at Light Level 335, with which he was able to bring Oryx to his knees. Before the April update, no one had accomplished this notable achievement.
Warlock solos Oryx
The Guardian played the run with a Sunbreaker Warlock, which allowed him to revive himself – and he had to do so multiple times. Besides the Sleeper Simulant, he needed double fusion grenades and, above all, one thing: speed. The ogres must be dealt with quickly, and the knights spawn faster than in Normal Mode. The YouTuber clearly had no time to waste.
See for yourself:

According to the YouTuber, these are the requirements to replicate this feat:
Sleeper Simulant with 335 Light.
Warlock with 333-335 Light.
Voidwalker with 333-335 Light and the perk Triple (if rapidly precision hits are achieved, one round is returned to the magazine).
The chest piece Starfire Protocol (for an additional fusion grenade and more ammunition for special weapons. Managing ammunition in the solo run is also a challenge).
Leg armor that increases sniper ammo.
Gauntlets that increase the reload speed of snipers.
Esoterickk emphasizes that this task was a tricky challenge for him. He “worked” on it for about 20-25 hours until he achieved the solo kill. The difference compared to Normal Mode is definitely enormous.
Is it now the time when Oryx is soloed in every conceivable way? His son Crota could already tell a tale about it. Here, Crota is danced to death by a Guardian.
What do you think of this achievement? Are you already planning to pay Oryx a visit soon and follow in the YouTuber’s footsteps?

In Marvel Heroes , an action for the movie “The First Avenger: Civil War” brings new life to the superhero scene.
The new Marvel movie “The First Avenger: Civil War” is the blockbuster of the moment. Critics see it as the best Marvel movie ever. It started on April 28 in Germany, but it was only really happening in the USA on May 6.
Marvel Heroes is not going to miss this. The Diablo-like action MMORPG not only carries the “Marvel” title in its name, but takes it very seriously: Marvel Heroes 2016 is part of every Marvel action, whether on TV or elsewhere, with an event in the game.

To get started with Civil War, you can temporarily choose between the heroes Captain America or Iron Man until Tuesday afternoon. To do this, you need to go to this website from Gazillion, log in with your account, and then enter either “TEAMIRONMAN” or “TEAMCAP”. You have to make a choice: There is only one hero you can play until level 60 – even heroes you do not “own” can be played until level 10.
In Marvel Heroes 2016, there are numerous bonuses for the next three weeks in May, 50% more EXP for all Civil War heroes, and a new starting mission is ready. In the Madripoor Bazaar, you hunt Crossbones.
Until May 26, more events will take place in the game, and there will be extra bonus EXP and goodies. The Civil War content will expire later, and after May 26, it will no longer be playable. However, the developers want to bring it back regularly as an event.
After May 26, Marvel Heroes will take a break from events for a few days, and in June there will be a birthday month. So it’s a good time to get into Marvel Heroes right now.
In The Division, you can acquire certain items only after reaching a DZ rank of 75 or 90. We will show you how to efficiently increase your DZ rank.
The Dark Zone weapon dealer has stylish items and blueprints in stock every week, which you can purchase with DZ currency. However, there is a catch: You need to have reached at least rank 75 or even 90 in the Dark Zone to get the most desirable items. How do you achieve such a high rank?
Basically, there are two ways to achieve this goal: Either you play relaxed with your buddies for a few hours over several weeks with the motto “Eventually, it will work out with rank 75,” or you make a brutal push in the shortest time possible, which might turn into a lot of work.
The following three aspects will make your rank progress easier:
Focus on Stamina: One thing you definitely want to avoid is dying! If you go down, you will lose part of your hard-earned DZ experience. Therefore, you should rely on a build that increases your health, allowing you to take more damage before going down. Especially when you are out alone, caution is advisable in the Dark Zone.
Play as a Team: If you take too much damage, it is beneficial to have allies with you. They can heal you before you lose valuable experience. Additionally, you can defeat enemies more efficiently in a group and defend against rogues. And playing with good friends is much more fun!
Use Equipment that Increases DZ Experience: You can significantly accelerate your rank progress with the right gear. Some items offer experience bonuses that you should keep an eye out for. You can see how high your XP bonuses are under the character data in the “Exploration” category.
Find a Farm Route for Dark Zone Experience
Now, you need to eliminate as many enemies as possible in the shortest time to efficiently gain DZ experience. You can create your own farm route, for which there are even specific tools available on the internet. Or you can follow already known farm routes that you can find on YouTube and in the forums.
We will show you a video of the agent “DreadTheDarkZone“, who promotes a rank increase from 1-99 in under 4 days. On this route, you should earn over 10,000 DZ experience every five minutes.

You can find the exact directions best in the video. The most important points are as follows:
Start at the extraction zone in DZ03 north of the safe room. Call in the helicopter there and defeat the boss and the remaining NPCs. Due to the activated extraction, more enemies will spawn that you can kill.
Next, head to the underground entrance in the north of the extraction zone, where you also eliminate the NPCs.
Stay underground and head west. It’s best to see how to move underground in the video. You will encounter enemies here as well.
Exit the underground through one of the two exits in the north and run to the landmark north of the extraction zone. On the way there, a strike team member can sprint to the extraction zone, call in the heli, and then return to the team.
Kill the boss at the landmark and then defeat the enemies at the extraction zone.
Now the fun starts all over again. If there are no NPCs at the extraction zone, you can go to an optional landmark, defeat the enemies there, and then return. By then, the XP-generating NPCs should be available again.
For this route, the user has also drawn a nice map:
Red: Routes in the open.
Yellow: Routes underground.
Blue: You will encounter strong enemies here.
Black: This line indicates the path of the member who should call for extraction.
White: This leads to the optional landmark.
What tips do you have for efficiently leveling up in DZ rank?
In Battleborn there is a mission that is too hard. The problem: it keeps coming up constantly.
Battleborn has been live for a few days now. One of the story missions seems to be designed to be too difficult. This creates a sort of vicious cycle: since many people fail at this mission, they still need to complete it and want to finish it. Since the group decides which mission to tackle through voting, it appears more frequently.
I was assigned the mission twice, even though I voted differently, and both times we failed at the same point – quite far back. Mike Fahey from the US site Kotaku even writes that he has failed the mission 7 times.
Especially annoying: for me, it was the first story mission that I did at all. And getting my rear kicked by it is really bizarre.
Overall, “the Saboteur” is disproportionately difficult and represents a steep increase in the difficulty curve. PlayStation players have completion rates of at least 25% for other missions, but for “The Saboteur” it is only 9.4%, writes Kotaku. Even on PC, it is by far the least completed mission.

Good luck next time!
The mission runs for 20, 25, even 30 minutes without major problems. Then you have to defend a point against waves of enemies, and if the player group is too “slow” there and cannot take down the enemies quickly enough, they eat away at the HP of your own AI, and you lose. No second chance, no new attempt, just: the mission has failed, better luck next time. And then you need another 30 minutes to reach that point again.
This is relatively hard-tuned because the enemies’ ranged fighters seem to eat away at the HP of your own AI, and it doesn’t recover between waves.
The problem is well known and is being heavily discussed in the community. Some suggest trying it solo or with a small group, as the scaling makes it significantly easier.
The creative director of Battleborn has announced a nerf: they don’t know when, but it will definitely happen at this point.
