The Korean version of Black Desert receives a new update. This turns the Giant into a metallic warrior with a heavy weapon as a substitute for a hand.
Creating Chaos with the Hand Cannon
While the closed beta of Black Desert is currently ongoing in our region, work on the original Korean version continues diligently. This week, another Awakening weapon will be implemented into the game, which will bring even more fun out of the Giant. He has commissioned something very special from the dwarves: a metal armor along with a hand cannon.
This not only makes the already large Giant look significantly more impressive, but he can also deal powerful blows. Unlike his usual armament, he is no longer completely limited to close combat; instead, he can unleash devastating explosions on his enemies from a slightly greater distance. This video shows how it looks in action.

From level 56 onwards, all classes in Black Desert have the opportunity to improve further through an Awakening weapon. This sometimes drastically changes the playstyle of the respective class. Next on the list is the Ranger’s weapon – this one will no longer rely on ranged combat but will plunge directly into the fray with a dagger and rapier.
More about the game and the currently ongoing West Beta can be found on our Black Desert topic page.

Star Citizen is an extremely ambitious game. This is demonstrated repeatedly – also by a new trailer that is simply captivating.
The trailer starts with a close-up of a person. You can see how detailed the faces are as the camera zooms out further. The character becomes smaller and stands in a large hangar. The action continues to zoom out from there until you can see the building from outside, perched on the cliff of a rocky planet. But it goes even further. The camera keeps zooming out, showing the rugged planet, until you finally land in space and view the world as a whole. The planet shown has a diameter of 1,000 kilometers.
Seamless transition between space and planets
The video provides some explanations. The displayed graphics are said to be actual gameplay graphics and there will be seamless transitions from space to the planets. You will be able to penetrate the atmosphere of a planet with your spaceship and zoom over it until you find a landing platform where you can land, disembark, and explore the base on foot. The planets are supposed to be procedurally generated since such a world could never fit into the storage of a PC.
The developers even take care to ensure that the light is represented correctly and bends differently in the various layers of the atmosphere. This should make landings and take-offs also visually spectacular. Planets should look very detailed even from a great distance.
Star Citizen fascinates anew each time. Considering what is contained in this game, it is not surprising that there are delays with Star Citizen. The recently released Alpha 2.0 shows how extensive Star Citizen already is in this early version. Fans can look forward to what awaits them at release.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , players have now built an exotic weapon themselves through voting. Bungie is looking at the result.
On Reddit, a group of players came together and collaboratively crafted an Exotic through voting. Community Manager Cozmo from Bungie checked it out and said: Great job, we can’t promise that this will make it into the game, but I’ve forwarded it to the weapons team.
Exotic Scout Rifle “Price of Exile” – the weapon of the people
The weapon is an exotic scout rifle called “Price of Exile.”
The special perk of the weapon is called “From the Void”: After precision kills, an Axion Bolt rises from the light of the slain enemy and seeks out the next opponent. For the additional perks, they chose – modest as they are – Fireball and Fully Automatic. The scout rifle is supposed to deal Void damage.
The values offer high stability, reload speed, and range – with 19 rounds, it provides a large magazine. Perhaps a bit overpowered, but my goodness – the fine-tuning can surely be handled by the technicians at Bungie.
As flavor text, a quote from Toland has been chosen, a side character in the Destiny universe that excites the fans: Break their will, Guardian, and you can control them beyond their death.
Legion will fundamentally change the PvP of World of Warcraft – but what exactly is happening here?
Old game in new guise?
With the upcoming expansion “Legion”, the PvP of World of Warcraft will be completely revamped. Not only will the old Honor and Valor system be retired, but a host of new PvP talents will also be introduced. We will explain how the new systems work and what Blizzard had in mind.
PvP Talents and Honor Levels
The biggest change is probably the introduction of Honor levels. Honor points will now be accumulated like experience and used to level up. Step by step, you will rise with every level gain up to 50, unlocking gold rewards and PvP talents along the way. These talents will only apply in PvP and will act in addition to a character’s normal talents!
For example, a druid could improve their Entangling Roots so that they are not removed upon taking damage. Monks can modify their “Tiger Palm” ability so that it becomes a charge that slows the affected enemy. Each class and specialization will have its own talents that will be particularly significant in PvP situations.
As Honor points disappear, the old PvP gear will no longer be purchasable with them. But don’t worry, Blizzard will make it accessible in other ways – probably just for a fixed amount of gold.
Is equipment irrelevant?
In the current PvP system, equipment still plays a significant role. A difference of 25 item levels can represent about a 25% difference in character strength in PvP. In Legion, the significance of equipment will be minimized. Thus, each item level will only provide a power increase of 0.1% in PvP. The remaining stats will come from a template that Blizzard creates separately for each class and specialization.
Essentially, all shadow priests will have the same stats. This allows Blizzard to quickly address imbalances between different classes and strengthen or weaken individual specializations as needed.
The Prestige system grants unique rewards.
Does that make equipment completely irrelevant in PvP? Not entirely. Equipment still makes you a few percentage points stronger. At the same time, PvP gear will also perform quite well in PvE. So for those who want to be raid-ready through PvP, there is nothing stopping them.
Prestige – For those who want the fun multiple times
For the Alliance! Be the standard bearer of your faction.
If you prefer to spend your time all day in the battlegrounds, enjoy titles, mounts, and companions, then you won’t be able to avoid the Prestige system. Once you reach Honor level 50, you can choose to reduce your level back to 1. In doing so, you will lose all unlocked talents, but in return, you’ll receive rewards in the form of certain titles and other cosmetic upgrades.
This can be repeated multiple times to unlock new and better things each time. Among other rewards, a faction banner awaits, which heroes can carry into battle, and your portrait will become increasingly imposing – friends and enemies will be able to recognize immediately who they are dealing with!
One of the new arenas added to the game with Legion.
Finally, a glance was cast at the upcoming new arenas – at least two will be included in World of Warcraft: Legion.

After many months, the Korean MMORPG Black Desert is now in its first beta in the West. And the first thing many notice: The character creation.
In the popular reddit subforum /gaming, it’s at the top: Emma Watson in Black Desert. And players who haven’t followed Black Desert so far are perplexed by how incredibly good it looks.
Those who have been following the Korean version know for a long time how massive the possibilities are in character creation; through countless sliders and options, you can create “the hero or heroine of your dreams” … or of your wetter dreams. But for players who are encountering Black Desert for the first time now, it is indeed a culture shock.
As someone who sat in front of it yesterday: Yes, there are indeed as many ways to design a character in Black Desert as you thought. And a few more.

The Chinese internet giant Tencent has officially acquired Riot Games, the developers of League of Legends. Competitors say the CEO is the “King of Copycats.”
In 2008, Tencent acquired the rights to LoL for China, and in 2011, it purchased a majority stake in Riot Games. Now the LoL creators have announced: Tencent has acquired the remaining shares.
This will also affect the compensation of “Rioters,” the employees at LoL. They are expected to benefit financially from the success: In addition, the company already offers employees “highly competitive pay,” social plans, medical care, a kitchen with snacks, and numerous other benefits. They reference the article from the job review portal Glassdoor, stating that Riot Games is a top workplace.
Tencent is a Chinese internet company. Competitors accuse the company’s CEO Huateng “Pony Ma” Ma of being the “notorious King of Copycats.” Most of his projects are not innovations but rather Chinese versions of successful Western services or companies. Tencent offers social networks, websites, eCommerce, chat programs, and much more in China. They became known as “China’s answer to AoL.”
In the MMO sector, they appear as a Chinese publisher frequently of Korean, but also Western online games. At their own expo, they showcased games like Lost Ark, Blade and Soul, Call of Duty Online, Monster Hunter Online, and War Thunder this year.
Furthermore, they also distribute Candy Crush Saga in China.

The Game Director of Overwatch explains details about the progression system and its failed predecessors.
Two Systems, Two Failures
In a new developer video, Jeff Kaplan, the Game Director of Overwatch, talks about the progression systems that have been tried for Blizzard’s shooter – and why they failed.
System 1: Talents and Power Boosting
The first system attempted to use talents, as known from World of Warcraft and Heroes of the Storm. Players earned experience points across matches, allowing various heroes to level up and then purchase certain abilities. One example is Reaper, who fully heals every time he goes into his shadow form. Alternatively, players could double the range of his shotgun.
Reaper even reapier – Complete healing and better range as talent.
This system, however, caused so much confusion that it was quickly removed. Since multiple players can play the same hero, it was absolutely confusing and players could never properly prepare for a situation. Additionally, a power gain through time investment was more detrimental to the competitive nature of Overwatch.
System 2: Pure Cosmetics with Player Levels
In the second attempt, they also used character levels, but without equipping them with a power gain. Instead, there were numerous cosmetic rewards that could be unlocked for each hero individually. However, this also led to unwanted behavior: Players became less likely to switch characters during a match (which is crucial for the success of the team) to get “that one reward,” regardless of whether they were a useful team member or not.
Spray logos are a way of customization.
The developers describe this system in hindsight as a “small disaster” and have learned that they never want to dictate to players which character they should be playing – not even through a rewards system.

A particularly important incentive was given by Tom Chilton, the Game Director of World of Warcraft, who said: “If it’s not about progression in your game, then don’t focus on it.” The developers want to heed this with the new approach. The main motivation should be the fun of the game and not a reward system. This will be “light and cosmetic” and thank players “for their time in the game.”
This basically doesn’t sound so different from System Number 2, but it probably won’t be limited to individual heroes. What rewards will be exactly, they do not want to reveal yet – players should experience that for themselves.
It may take a while until the beta continues. In the meantime, they are only hinting at February 2016.
“Some things are already circulating on the internet, like the spray logos. But that’s just a part of what we have in mind.”
The beta of Overwatch will restart as soon as such a progression system has been implemented. However, this might not happen until February at the earliest, depending on how successful the developers are.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, there is an opportunity tonight to compete against the developers – and in the new Sparrow event.
Normally, such events take place in the Crucible, where top players from Bungie and well-known clans (and DeeJ) often compete with the community. This time, the “Bungie Bounty” is placed on their own heads.
Starting tonight from Wednesday to Thursday at 3:00 AM until 5:00 AM, the developers will race against the community on the PlayStation 4. The event is expected to take place on Xbox One next week.
The races will be streamed. Players who finish in places 1-3 in races involving a Bungie employee (or even two) will receive this emblem.
Some of the developers of the Sparrow event will participate for Bungie, along with some people who just enjoy going fast. Destiny players can easily join the races through matchmaking when they’re on PS4.

For the upcoming MMO shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division , community representatives have been invited to Sweden. This results in new gameplay material and new praises.
One can see this critically: Developer Massive invites 15 of the “most engaged community members” to Sweden. In a video where they talk about their experiences, they praise the game in the highest terms. Teamplay is fantastic, characters can evolve, and the atmosphere is as dense as one could imagine. New York really gives the impression of a city on the edge of the abyss.

One could critically say: What else would they say? After all, they also benefit if The Division becomes a “hype”, gaining success on their social networks. And hey, if one is invited to Sweden and is being taken care of by the developers, that also affects the first impression.
On the other hand, the snippets from the community members align with the experience reports from players of the short closed alpha on Xbox One a few days ago. There, too, the gameplay and the game content that were shown were praised highly. One may wonder whether all these praises have any substance. At the moment, it sounds almost too good to be true, but the typical German skeptic might be speaking out of us.
In 2016, betas for Xbox One, PC, and PS4 are to be released, until the game finally launches in March. The Division is set to become one of the major titles of 2016.

In SWTOR two events are now taking place simultaneously – the Life Day is beginning and the Rakghoul Plague is returning.
Holiday Overload – Free Choice
It requires quite a bit of self-irony to hold these two events. Nevertheless, in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the Life Day is currently taking place, the galactic version of Christmas. At the same time, the Rakghoul Plague has broken out once again, turning innocent citizens into bloodthirsty zombies – also a way to celebrate “life”.
The Life Day – Plenty of Snow Packages
To kick off the Life Day properly, players should head to their respective fleet and visit the Galactic Trade Network there. Close by is this year’s Ceremony Master, who sells almost all rewards for this celebration. Among other things, he also has the Life Day Snowball Bomb for 1000 Credits on offer, which is essential to acquire most of the other rewards.
You throw the Snowball Bomb at other players as soon as the cooldown is over. With a probability of ~15% per throw, you will receive a snow-covered package – the currency of Life Day. You can then exchange this with the Ceremony Master for countless items. The special thing: All items that were only available on the Cartel Market last year are now accessible through the snow-covered packages! However, there are some new additions on the Cartel Market, such as a vehicle with a thick snow cannon on top.

The Life Day lasts from December 15 to January 5 – so there is plenty of time to throw a whole lot of snowballs in your fellow players’ faces.
If one celebration is not enough, from December 15 to December 22, you will also have the opportunity to fight with zombies, as the Rakghoul Plague once again haunts the desert planet Tatooine.
In the fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, the patch 3.15 has been released today. It brings a lot of work with the Anima weapons.
What are called “Major Patches” in other games are often referred to as “interim patches” in Final Fantasy XIV. Today, the second patch for “As Goes Light, so goes Darkness”, 3.15, was released.
It brings the Anima weapons, which are new job-specific items that stand in the tradition of the Zodiac weapons. In future patches, players will be able to further enhance these weapons. Square Enix only gives an initial hint in the patch notes about how the quests will proceed, then advises players to discuss the details.
The side quest series “Saint Endalim-Theologikum” is not quite so elitist. Here, players accompany the upheaval in a theology seminar.
Further developments in Final Fantasy XIV will likely take place on December 23, when the “lightbringer of the game” Naoki Yoshida will hold an audience again and reveal details about the next patch 3.2. This is expected in early 2016.

Devilian now reports: We have noticed issues again at Seadrift last night, which could lead to another “data loss.” The safety of data is our top priority. We can only reopen the server once we are sure nothing will happen.
At the moment, the server is closed. It is unclear when it will reopen. Probably not today, December 16th. The team assures that they are working “around the clock” on a solution, and are looking for ways to thank players for their patience.

The developers of Hearthstone are adjusting the release times of the card chaos mode. When will it return to Europe?
Tavern Brawls – not before 10 PM!
We were used to getting a new card chaos mode in Hearthstone every Wednesday at exactly 5 PM. However, this time has now changed, according to Blizzard, with the following explanation:
“We are always looking for ways to improve the Hearthstone player experience and will be making some changes to the release of card chaos to better respond to bugs and issues that may arise at release.”
Tonight, the Winter Veil chaos is coming – players can start getting used to the new time.
Unfortunately, the new time is quite inconvenient for Europeans, as the latest mode will now go online every Wednesday at 10 PM – a full 5 hours later than before. For all early risers, students, and pupils, this is quite annoying, as they will likely only be able to enjoy the latest chaos the next day.

The space MMO Elite:Dangerous has launched a new season with Horizons. This is supposed to be the start of a year full of updates and improvements.
The new “Season 2016” with updates for Elite:Dangerous is called Horizons and has launched on PC. Horizons is expected to provide the huge, currently somewhat empty space game with more action over the next year.
The most important step that is happening now is the planetary landings. As a result, most of the many, many planets in the game can also be entered and explored. This trailer draws attention to Horizons.

I wish for a new Star Wars game, one that is different from Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Don’t get me wrong, I like SWTOR. It offers a lot of what I would wish for a new MMORPG, but it just doesn’t meet my expectations entirely. For one, I am not a fan of this cartoonish graphic style. I understand why they made that choice. Games with this particular style appeal to a larger customer base, and such graphic styles remain relevant longer because they don’t look outdated as quickly.
And yet I believe that something like that does not really fit Star Wars. I also like the TV series Star Wars: Rebels, but I just think that a different graphic style would have suited this series well. Moreover, Star Wars: Battlefront shows how cool a game set in the Star Wars universe can look, if it offers a more realistic appearance.
An MMORPG set during the time of the movies
Additionally, I am not a fan of the scenario of SWTOR. Seriously, the whole thing takes place over 3,000 years before the movies, but nothing is really fundamentally different. Shouldn’t technology have developed significantly over 3,000 years? What about evolution? The races have also not evolved during the time between the game and the movies. That seems strange to me.
Furthermore, you have to forgo all the really cool elements from the movies like the Empire with the screeching TIE Fighters. I would therefore wish for a scenario set during the time of the films. Perhaps between Episode 3 and Episode 4. Then you could also play Jedi Knights who are fleeing from the Empire. The time before the new movie Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens would also be interesting.
I also wish for the option to be able to play the game solo. When looking at SWTOR, you can’t help but feel that it actually wants to be more of a single-player RPG. And yet, other players disturb the enjoyment of this experience during the story missions.
Therefore, I would find it good to also have the option to play offline, just like the upcoming selective multiplayer RPG Shroud of the Avatar wants to offer. I have the option to experience my adventures alone and offline, but I can also go online and complete group content with others.
Galactic Starfighter: Practice makes perfect!
A few new and innovative systems, please
Furthermore, I would wish for an evolution in the genre. For example, regarding the combat system. I can’t stand this WoW-like system anymore. I want action, especially when I’m wielding a lightsaber. I don’t want to wait for the character to execute my command; I want to fight actively! And yes, that would also mean a – at least optional – first-person perspective.
Also, the UI with all the windows, numbers, bars, names, and so on disturbs me from immersing myself in the game world. Here, something new and innovative should finally be invented, with which one can play without a UI without having to give up on information. I don’t know what that could look like yet, but there must be a way.
However, it will probably be quite a while before a new Star Wars MMO is released, as they certainly don’t want to make themselves competitors. But dreaming is always allowed…

In an interview, the Design Director of League of Legends LoL, Greg ‘Ghostcrawler’ Street, now revealed the first facts about the new champion in LoL.
The name ‘Ghostcrawler’ may be familiar to some of you from World of Warcraft, where he worked for several years as Lead Systems Designer before moving to Riot Games. In an interview, he was asked if he could provide information about the next champion that will be released soon™ in League of Legends.
Of course, he cannot reveal too much information yet, but it is clear that the champion will be male. After the release of Illaoi, the Kraken Priestess and the update of Poppy Riot is now focusing on a male character again to bring fresh air to the game. He also mentioned that this champion has never been mentioned before. Therefore, it can be ruled out that it is one of the long-awaited champions such as ‘Ao Shin’.
What about Ao Shin? When will he come to LoL?
Ao Shin was teased in a small champion preview in 2013. He is also seen in the comic related to Spirit Guard Udyr. At that time, it was clear that his kit needed to be revised and that two more champions would be introduced to the game before his release. These champions were Jinx and Yasuo.
Some players of League of Legends therefore suspected that the next champion could be Ao Shin. But to put this speculation to rest, ‘Ghostcrawler’ also said, “Although Ao Shin is in development, he is still causing many problems. We are not saying that he will never be released, but certainly not in the near future.”
Is there even room for more champions in LoL?
Many players are also questioning how many champions there will be in League of Legends and whether old champions may eventually need to be removed from the game to make way for new ones.
‘Ghostcrawler’ stated: That one cannot imagine removing “old” champions. They have reduced the number of new champions so much this year and last year that only 5-6 champions will be added to the game this year. Therefore, it can be ruled out that they will reach 200 champions (currently 130) in the near future.
So we can only rely on the well-known saying “wait and drink tea” until new information about the next champion is published. Of course, you will get this information directly on our site.
What are your expectations for the next champion? What role should he play – another new jungler?

The Dino game ARK: Survival Evolved will have a split-screen mode on Xbox One – but when will it be available?
Two Hunters, One Island
As of today, there is ARK: Survival Evolved on Xbox One as part of the Game Preview Program. There, Xbox players can already try out a variety of features: taming dinosaurs, building fortresses, forming tribes with other players, and creating their own breeding setup. However, a very special feature will not come until next year: the split-screen mode.

If you want, you can also hand a colleague a gamepad, so two people can explore the island and its secrets on one Xbox One. This will have little impact on performance. Regarding this, Jesse Rapczak, co-founder of Studio Wildcard, stated: “Many development studios are giving up on split-screen mode, but we couldn’t bear that for ARK! Friends and family can look forward to working together to survive the harsh environment and uncover the many secrets of the island. All from the same couch.”
However, there is a (relatively large) downside: the split-screen will only be available offline, meaning locally restricted. To participate in online matches, each player will need their own console.
If you are fortunate enough to own two Xbox Ones, you will even be able to host your own server that can accommodate up to 70 players.

Welcome to the latest edition of Whining Wednesday! What can one really whine about early in the morning with a cup of tea while binge-watching some anime and driving the shoe man with the whip? Ah… my love-hate relationship with Blizzard is always there. But Heroes of the Storm is practically begging for a bit of my attention. So be it!
The Spirits That You Call
A little over a week ago, Blizzard launched the “Recruit A Friend” program for Heroes of the Storm. This had already caused quite a stir, and many players complained that this reward program comes too late because all the veterans have already invited their friends to the game. It probably wouldn’t have been so bad if one of the rewards wasn’t the Vulture mount, which long-time StarCraft fans have been looking forward to for a while – because it has been in the game files for many months, it can only now be obtained.
“Recruit Yourself” should perhaps be the better title for the offer.
Unfortunately, you can’t retroactively recruit friends (unless they are below level 5 – which practically isn’t the case after 3 matches), so most players have no choice but to create secondary, tertiary, and quaternary accounts to get the rewards. But because playing by yourself is really annoying…
The Great Bot Wave
In the Nether, the last two days in Heroes of the Storm have been terrible. In every single match in the level range of 1-20, there has been one or two bots. No wonder, it’s not necessary to play with the recruited friend to receive the rewards, one only needs to reach level 10 with the secondary accounts. Therefore, it probably doesn’t matter to anyone whether the small accounts are subsequently banned for bot usage.
Even Lt. Morales looks confused – Bots in Hots. Super annoying.
But the bots are actually only half the problem. Unfortunately, I belong to the other problem, but that does not change the fact that Blizzard has brought this upon themselves. It feels like nearly 80% of the players in the low-level range are currently “smurf accounts,” meaning secondary accounts of significantly more experienced gamers. This surely stifles the fun of newcomers, who are simply rolled over by veterans.
Sure, all MOBAs go through such a phase as soon as there’s a “Recruit A Friend” reward. But somehow I expected Blizzard to handle this smarter. Unfortunately, I was disappointed – for me, this entire action is a bad joke with poor implementation. And a slap in the face for all who have genuinely tried to engage new players in the past.

In the MMO shooter Destiny , today on December 16th, it is weapon day again. Banshee-44 is accepting orders and distributing weapons.
The procedure is the same every Wednesday: You complete orders for Banshee-44 in Destiny, thereby increasing your reputation. You submit orders that he fulfills in the following weeks. And you redeem orders, receiving different variants of the requested weapons to choose from. We will guide you through the process.
With these prototype weapons, you are equipped for Banshee-44 in Destiny this week
These are the prototype weapons from Banshee this week.
With a Häkke auto rifle, Cabal are to be taken down.
With a Suros auto rifle, you should achieve precision kills.
With an Omolon fusion rifle, it’s against Vex Minotaurs.
With a Häkke pulse rifle, it’s: Off to the Crucible.
And with a Häkke sniper rifle, you should achieve double kills.
These weapons can be ordered this week
Starting off is the auto rifle Arminius-D. Recommended by the statisticians at Bungie. With its extremely high rate of fire, large magazine, and fast reload, the Arminius has proven to be effective to keep opponents in check. Can come with perks like Persistence, Tracking or Balance Adjustment.
An interesting sidearm comes from Omolon with the Uffern HC. High impact, low range, high stability. Omolon weapons can come with very interesting perks such as Firefly.
The pulse rifle Herja-D from Häkke boasts high stability but disappoints with moderate range. Perhaps not really recommended right now due to the nerf.
Omolon then serves us the sniper rifle Uzume RR4. An interesting choice in a normal week.
But this week, there is also the Eirene RR4 sniper rifle with top impact. Besides Empty Look, it is considered the best legendary sniper overall. This is probably the weapon you should get besides the Arminius as well. Even if “Roulette” only works with headshots now.

Which weapons can be picked up this week with strong rolls?
Throughout the day, we will present to you which items have good rolls:
Starting off is the pulse rifle Suros PDX-45. It comes with Roll 3 featuring Balance Adjustment, Adapted Stock and Smallbore. Thus high stability, which is always looked for in pulse rifles. Roll 1 comes with Headseeker, Smallbore and Adapted Stock. You can probably argue about whether you prefer Balance Adjustment or Headseeker.
On Reddit, the sniper rifle Aoife Rua-D. is also recommended. It comes with Solar damage, Perfect Balance, Overflow and Injection Mold.
The Zarinea-D from last week comes with Crowd Control, Firefly and Smallbore. Good roll.
The Suros-Ari 41 is available with Outlaw, Hammer-Forged and Rifled Barrel.
An Uzume R44 comes this week with Arc damage, Outlaw, Mulligan, Zen Moment. Not really great either.
