In the MMO shooter Destiny a builder has now recreated the hand cannon Dorn – and this one actually shoots – although not with poisonous ammunition.
The weapons in Destiny are probably the centerpiece of the game, especially around the exotic weapons a small cult has formed. This invites hobby builders to bring these pixel guns into our world by all possible means. The most popular method is 3D printing.
The weapon is designed to correspond 1:1 to the original (if it existed). So this thing is quite a piece with a length of half a meter: Here is an early version of the do-it-yourself Dorn in action – it only lacks the turning of the white wall green.

The latest trailer for Heroes of the Storm shows why you should better avoid the undead lord Leoric. He has a very skillful hand in choosing his allies …
“I only choose allies who will never betray me!”
Since today, the latest character from Heroes of the Storm, the Skeleton King Leoric, is available in the game. Driven slowly mad by the corruption, he saw only hate and betrayal around him, which ultimately led to his death. But Leoric will not fall victim to such a trick a second time!
As is customary for Blizzard, the more or less good sir is also presented with his own trailer. It is now also the norm (and the expectation of players) that trailers have a serious story component and then a humorous punchline – but what am I telling you? You’d best see for yourselves:

The former monarch of Tristram can be purchased for a proud 15,000 gold in the first weeks. Those who have no idea what to expect from Leoric should also take a quick look at his abilities to avoid unpleasant surprises.

A YouTuber has once again demonstrated how beautiful World of Warcraft could look with HD graphics in the Unreal Engine. The result is a revamped Westfall.
Rogues, Dust Devils, and Beautiful Visuals
Westfall is not only the home of the Defias Brotherhood, but also a refuge for many homeless people who can no longer be supported by Stormwind. All in all, a pretty rundown area that is also plagued by gnolls, insane harvesters, and murlocs.
To spice up the zone a bit, YouTuber Daniel L has now created Westfall using the Unreal 4 Engine – thus catapulting the human area into a new graphical dimension. Take a look at an early version that will raise the question for some: “What if WoW looked like this?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPc-YE29jv8
Daniel L has previously done a redesign of the Elwynn Forest and will likely recreate more zones throughout the project.

The Free2Play MMO World of Tanks is coming to Xbox One. Players can now start downloading the game. Anyone who does so by July 27 will receive a tank.
It has been clear for a long time, when the tank war will start on Xbox One: on July 28. Now the pre-download has begun. For reasons that are certainly not entirely altruistic, Wargaming wants to make sure that as many people as possible take advantage of it and to avoid stress on release day, so they are incentivizing prospective tank commanders to pre-download World of Tanks: Anyone who downloads the Xbox One version of the Free2Play hit by July 27 will receive a T1E6-X1 tank.
Players will find the tank in their garage upon release and can also use it on Xbox 360.
But now we have a video for you that will even elicit a small “Oookay, that’s not bad” from the most hardened players. A Warrior has the board and the Mage’s HP completely under control, but Jaina has set a little trap…

A new Wednesday, but an old topic. The last few weeks have kept a World of Warcraft fan from sleeping peacefully. Whether it’s about the content drought, the sudden end of the addon, or supposed leaks about the future – everything causes stomach pain.
Fears of the Future (in a different way) …
Freedom on Draenor. Hmja. Almost.
I don’t know how you all have been feeling in recent days, but I’m worried about the development of World of Warcraft. Not in the sense of “WoW is dead and the end of all days is coming” (because that will never happen quickly – and that’s a good thing), but in the sense of “Who is actually making such strange things?”. I am greatly disturbed by the latest developments in one of my favorite games. First, the Tanaan Jungle, which was supposed to be playable with the launch of WoD, was suddenly declared the middle, peak, and endpoint, and then it disappoints across the board. The area is boring and monotonous. On top of that come the lore blunders, like the peace-happiness-egg-cake Yrel, who slowly jumps over a flower field with her declared nemesis Grommash Hellscream.
Sylvanas is exciting – unfortunately only currently in Heroes of the Storm.
If one wants to believe the latest leaks – to be honest, I don’t, but let’s assume for a moment – then this trend continues. Storylines are being dropped, the really exciting stories are not progressing (Sylvanas! You want it too!) and conflict potentials in the world are being resolved (Sunwell cleaned, warlocks accepted by humans).
… and wishes for the past.
It’s a bit like that cool fantasy world you invented during boring Latin class in seventh grade. Back then, you loved it, and even today, a brief skim of the text overwhelms you with nostalgia. However, the more you delve into it, the clearer it becomes: It no longer convinces me. And yet it doesn’t let go of you, and the question arises: “What if…?”
Must-have in any lore collection: The Pen&Paper rulebooks.
Warcraft has been and is for me the “one” great universe that has filled a large part of my youth with great ideas, interesting worlds, and exciting plots. And I’m not just talking about the video games. I also love the accompanying Pen&Paper system, the numerous novels, the comics/mangas, and all the fan creations like the audio play Allimania.
I will probably only realize how great World of Warcraft still is when the servers are shut down and the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia cover this time as well. Nevertheless, I am extremely excited about the Warcraft movie. Until it appears, I will probably just log in to escape every night into the beautiful world of role-playing (and before Schuhmann) – but I will tell you about that another time.

The mech spectacle Mechwarrior Online is getting European servers in Strasbourg. This should reduce the pings.
Battlemechs or simply Mechs are giant combat machines controlled by humans. Long before “Pacific Rim,” there was the board game Battletech in the 80s. This led to a franchise, indeed a whole cosmos, with novels, video game adaptations, and much more. The series became quite popular in Germany under the auspices of Funcom.
Since September 2013, there has also been an MMO spin-off of the franchise: Mechwarrior Online. However, European pilots previously suffered from ping disadvantages compared to their American competitors.
That is about to change: Since this week, servers in Strasbourg are active. The developers at Piranha Games proudly showcase the nice low pings.
In Europe, the mechs are well received: 38% of all players are from Europe, according to the developers’ statistics. Germany is leading in this regard. The love affair between Germany and its mechs continues.
In Destiny, some players are still searching for the secret sixth chest in the raid “The Vault of Glass.” Now they have achieved what some thought had to be done: all Gorgons were dead at the same time. What happened?
The raid “The Vault of Glass,” which came to Destiny in September 2014, still fascinates some hardcore players. There is a search for a secret, a sixth chest. Although Bungie has never said that this chest exists, they have made it clear that they would never comment on something like that, neither positively nor negatively, yet a real cult has formed around this “sixth chest.”
In a dedicated subreddit on reddit they discuss what conditions must be met to find the sixth chest. In the eyes of the “Seekers,” there is a lot of evidence suggesting that there must be a sixth chest:
In earlier Bungie games, complicated special rewards were hidden, some of which were only found after years when the most absurd conditions were met.
And the complex structure of the raid “The Vault of Glass” with various mechanisms indicates to the “Secret Seekers” that there must be something hidden somewhere.
One of the prevailing “6th chest” theories stated, all eight “Gorgons” must be defeated at the same time, then they would no longer respawn, something would change in the raid, and ultimately a new chest would be found. But implementing this proved to be difficult.
After about 10 months, it has now been successful to put this theory into practice:

In response to the rather disappointing comment: “Well, I guess that’s it for the sixth chest. The air is out. There’s nothing,” came a prompt reply from the community. “Yes, but that was only on normal. Maybe it has to be done on hard!”

What fans create is often amazing. A HearthStone player has now recreated the game board – and that’s quite detailed using LEGO.
HearthStone as a Puzzle Game – just very different
When creativity meets fanatic fans, amazing works are often created. The YouTuber LEGOParadise definitely proves with his detailed reconstruction of the Pandaren HearthStone board how much he probably likes both forms of play. He not only recreated the temple facilities and buildings as detailed as possible, but also included the smallest details, such as the display of mana crystals and the card decks. Because that alone apparently still wasn’t enough, he promptly created his own LEGO-style cards, which are also quite impressive.

The military MMO War Thunder presents a series of tutorial videos on how to play the game somewhat successfully. German subtitles are also available.
War Thunder is considered a somewhat more realistic alternative to World of Tanks. Especially in the air combat mode, it’s hard to beat. In the past, tank support was also introduced, making the game increasingly complex.
The developers at Gaijin Entertainment offer beginners and advanced players an 11-part video series to get into the game. The videos also have German subtitles.
Here we show you the latest episode – tanks are in focus, especially the various damage sectors:

In the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, a major and long-awaited update is coming with the Imperial City. The “Tel’Var Stones” are supposed to bring additional action. Players can earn them from mobs, but can also lose them to opposing players.
Last Friday there was another round of ESO Live, where important innovations and changes to The Elder Scrolls Online for PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One are presented in a long stream show. This time, they had design prominence with Lead Combat Designer Eric Wrobel and Lead PvP Designer Brian Wheeler.
This new currency is significant as it gives the concept of a PvP dungeon an extra kick.
Tel’Var Stones in the Imperial City of The Elder Scrolls Online
You earn them painstakingly in the PvE of the Imperial City …
The Tel’Var Stones will be one of the systems through which players receive items in the Imperial City
It is a currency that is displayed at the bottom right in the interface, so it does not take up space in the inventory
Mobs in PvP areas drop these stones depending on their strength: Simple mobs 4, champions 12, smaller bosses give 100, and the “big bads” 400 stones – in events, even more can be earned, and chests also contain stones
There will be a large, one-time playable story line in the Imperial City of The Elder Scrolls Online that also rewards Tel’Var stones. Furthermore, the Imperial City will host daily quests. The Tel’Var stones obtainedcome in boxes. Players can open them whenever they want. These stones are therefore “safe,” but can also be used riskily in the field.
Players in a group share the received stones equally. Players who want to participate in a “boss” and are outside the main group (so-called “leechers”) must exceed a certain damage threshold; just poking at it is not enough to secure a portion of the loot.
… and lose them in PvP or earn a bunch there
If you defeat opposing players, you get all their stones, but the modifier does not apply here
If killed by an opposing player, you lose all your stones to them – the final blow counts
If corresponding feedback reaches the developers of The Elder Scrolls Online, the amount of stones lost to players may change: Dying to players in the Imperial City could therefore be less dramatic
If killed by a monster, you lose about 10% of the carried stones
Players determine the risk
The more stones a player carries, the higher a multiplier can increase, which then raises the “supply” of stones: The modifiers increase at 100 (x2), 1,000 (x3), and 10,000 (x4) carried stones
The stones can be stored in the “base”, which is located behind your own sewer. When the stones are in the bank, they are safe. Only after collecting 50 stones can you deposit them.
Tel’Var stones will not be added to the cash shop
About the rewards, they will report later, at Quake-Con: There is a “General Merchant” who sells general items. Among them, a “Port Stone” for 500 stones, which brings the player back to the base. You can only carry one at a time. It is consumed upon use.
PvE players complained – they are being promised an update 7
Following the live stream, the Tel’Var Stones caused some trouble in the community.
In the MMO classic Dark Age of Camelot, the concept of a PvP dungeon was first introduced with Darkness Falls. The German community manager Kai Schober is a “DAOC” veteran, therefore he also has some tips for concerned PvE players in ESO. So he tells committed PvE players: If you “bloodgate,” i.e., intentionally die to a mob, you can return safely to your camp away from opposing players.
And those who want to farm in the Imperial City without PvP should do so in front of their own camp. Experience shows that there are usually no opposing players there, they would be outnumbered and it’s a long way.

Once again, information about the upcoming addon for World of Warcraft has been leaked. Is there truth to it, or is it just a cleverly crafted deception?
Numerous details regarding the supposed upcoming WoW addon were published a few days ago in the notorious internet forum 4chan. While the information was immediately deleted elsewhere, German gaming sites legitimized these leaks with extensive reporting. But what does it say? And how much truth is there to it? We sent our WoW expert Cortyn on the hot trail.
The Dark Prophet leads into the South Sea
If one is to trust the user “Secret”, under whose name material related to Warlords of Draenor was also leaked, then the upcoming expansion is titled “The Dark Prophet”. Players will return from Draenor and must confront the renewed threat from the Naga and trolls – and explore the last unknown territory of Azeroth, the South Sea Islands, while leveling up to 110.
The Story: Trolls and Naga want to flood the world
The main antagonist of the new addon is said to be Zul (the eponymous “dark prophet”), who has simply overthrown the previous Troll King Rastakhan. He allies himself with the former Night Elf Queen Azshara, who rules over the forces of the Naga. The Naga intend to raise sea levels in order to flood the continents of Azeroth.
Once she owned the world, now Azshara wants to flood it. Understand a queen!
While WoD primarily dealt with the Draenei and Orcs, The Dark Prophet is said to focus on Night Elves and Trolls – which is already evident from the shared history of Naga and Night Elves.
Malfurion could use a bit more attention. So far, he shines through long-lasting sleep.
For this reason, the two main characters are Malfurion and Vol’jin. Vol’jin is (once again) offered to be part of the great, new troll empire but remains loyal to the Horde, thus gaining a bit more life than before. Nothing is said about Malfurion, but it would make sense for him to connect with the Naga storyline, after all, Azshara and Malfurion are old acquaintances.
New Class: The Shadowstalker
The new class is said to be the Shadowstalker, a ranged fighter heavily reliant on spells. He can be played as a damage dealer but also as a healer, strongly resembling the Arcane Archer from WildStar. The new class is said to be available to all races except for Tauren, Draenei, and Pandaren and will start at level 1 in a traditional manner. However, those who purchase the addon can create a Shadowstalker directly at level 100.
New Zones – Bananas and Beach Fun
Jaina might finally return to her homeland – that would at least be a logical step.
As befits a South Sea addon, Tel’Abim Island must not be missed, where among other things, bananas grow in WoW. The peaceful faction of the Sunstrider Trolls is dealing with a new pygmy race, and players help them in the process. Kul Tiras is the starting area for the Alliance and could move Jaina’s story forward, after all, the seafaring race of her family was once loyal and currently rules itself. In the endgame, it will then go to “the Rift“, where the Naga have their capital Nazjatar, the remnants of the former elf metropolis Zin’Azshari.
In total, there are said to be 8 new zones each with 2-3 instances. A big goal compared to Warlords of Draenor.
The Ship – the mobile Garrison?
Ships and pirates instead of garrisons and followers?
During the quest series, players will be able to build a ship and subsequently steer it to navigate between the different areas of the addon. Various pirates can be hired as crew members and fulfill different positions on the ship. A cook, for example, can grant you access to the best recipes or wield the peeling knife for you. Depending on the chosen crew, your advantages will differ from those of other players – much like the buildings in the garrison.
Cortyn’s Opinion: Meh …
I don’t know exactly what to make of these leaks. On the one hand, there are good ideas in there, on the other hand, questions arise that cannot be resolved at first glance. The capital of the trolls was destroyed by the Cataclysm and sinks, even now, further into the sea. As a logical consequence, the trolls ally with the Naga to raise the water level even more so that trolls also lose their last habitat – Huh? Either the trolls on the South Sea Islands are really smoking some strong stuff, or the Naga must have had some damn good arguments…
The Banshee Queen has been on a story vacation for quite some time.
What annoys me the most is that this all seems completely detached from the rest of the storyline. The Burning Legion, Khadgar, Gul’dan, and all that seems to play no role anymore, as if it were just a filler episode in a bad anime.
It also seems that Sylvanas’ plot is still on ice, and that was already started in WotLK – it’s time for the Forsaken’s breakthrough. I am definitely very skeptical and will doubt these leaks until there is serious evidence – and arguments that address the logic errors.
But take a look at the leaks yourselves and form your own impression.

In Hearthstone , Blizzard and Samsung have teamed up to hold a promotion. The real winner is an internet startup, an Android emulator.
As the German site buffed reports, the big winner of the promotion campaign to promote Samsung’s Galaxy S6 is not, as one might think, Samsung, but an internet startup. Owners of a Galaxy phone can currently secure three card packs and a special card back in Hearthstone. Those who do not have this special phone are left out.
However, “How to still” videos quickly surfaced online, showing players how they could fool the client over an emulator: “Hello, I am not a PC, I am a Samsung Galaxy, please give me the three free packs.”
These videos created such a huge influx for the featured Android emulator that they temporarily closed account creation yesterday morning.
We’re experiencing a huge amount of requests. This could provoke errors & timeouts on our platform. We are working on mitigating the issue.
Three hours later, they figured out where this sudden influx came from and welcomed the many new Hearthstone players on Twitter. They signed with DrBoom.

In the sandpark MMO ArcheAge , a fresh patch is coming today, July 21, bringing submarines and glider modifications. Additionally, there’s a “magical, cursed” user.
Update: The patch has been relatively short-term rescheduled to Wednesday, July 22, as a new build was necessary.
Original article:
The US server Aranzeb experienced unexpected server outages in recent days. A user then contacted Trion Worlds and probably said something like: I think it’s me! Every time I log in, the server crashes and stays down for a while.
Has messed something up again!
At Trion Worlds, he was initially banned, the crashes stopped, then he was logged in again while the whole team was on standby to watch it, and indeed: the server crashed. Now scholars are puzzled over what exactly went wrong in the code. The user’s account remains banned in the meantime, even though no malicious intent is attributed to him, while working together with XLGames on a solution.
It brings “submarines” and glider modifications.” Submarines are not really ships, but mountable pets. With the glider modifications, one can go higher into the or quickly through the air.
Both have been extensively introduced by Trion Worlds in posts available in German as well: Here goes about submarines, here about glider modifications on Trion Worlds’ page.

The multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront is set to be playable on Xbox One before its PC and PlayStation 4 release.
Star Wars Battlefront arrives on November 17 and is expected to be one of the gaming events of 2015. Xbox One players with EA Access will be able to get their hands on blasters, lightsabers, or the controllers of a speeder a few days earlier. Xbox head Phil Spencer announced this via Twitter:
EA Access is a special service from Electronic Arts that has been available for Xbox One since last August. Subscribers to this service can play Electronic Arts titles a few days earlier and carry over their progress to the release.
It can be assumed that the Battlefront deal will bring additional revenue to the service.

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, players should now be able to create their Togruta characters – however, patch 3.3 has been postponed indefinitely.
Update 07/22; 12:50 AM: As SWTOR reports, the patch will take place with a delay of almost 24 hours. The SWTOR servers will be unreachable on Wednesday, July 22, between 4:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
Here is the original article:
Oh, lick my lekku
Since the announcement of the Togruta as a playable race for Star Wars: The Old Republic, more than a year has passed. As expected, there is a considerable proportion of players who are now looking forward to the pretty aliens with their distinctive head shapes. However, the corresponding patch is still awaited. According to a forum post by Eric Musco, the Community Manager, some last-minute errors were encountered in patch 3.3. These are so severe that they must be fixed before the new update can go live.
Currently no Togruta as a playable race – but it’s just a matter of time.
Due to the delay, the bounty contract week is also being postponed. This was supposed to start today but will now begin with the release of the patch, ending as planned only until next Tuesday.
No new date for the release has been announced yet, but they intend to inform players regularly.

Chris Roberts has commented on the release date of the FPS module “Star Marine” of the upcoming space online game Star Citizen.
There are currently many discussions surrounding the FPS module, after Battlecruiser developer Derek Smart claimed that it had been put on hold. Chris Roberts, founder and CEO of the developer studio Cloud Imperium, announced in a video interview with gamersnexus.net that “Star Marine” could be expected in about three to five weeks. He mentioned that the module would likely be released around Gamescom.
“Star Marine” is coming soon!
Furthermore, Roberts explains the reasons for the postponement of “Star Marine”. This is due on one hand to network optimizations, especially regarding animations. In many first-person shooters, developers use “tricks” for the animations. The arms and hands seen while holding a weapon are often just “faked” on screen in many shooters. However, in Star Citizen, this is different. One embodies a real character, into which one slips from a first-person perspective. Limbs and their corresponding animations are represented completely accurately.
This also applies to the camera position, which in many other first-person shooters is not truly at the head but rather at the neck. This leads to the necessity of making these animations really perfect. Additionally, the aim was to have very fluid and realistic motion sequences in the game so that everything not only looks very good but also realistic. However, this posed some problems for the team, which they are currently working on solving. This would rather be equated with “perfection”; thus, the module would not need to be postponed by months, but only by a few weeks.
Chris Roberts did not want to commit 100 percent that the “Star Marine” module for Star Citizen would really appear at Gamescom, as giving specific dates has previously burned them. But around Gamescom, it should be ready.

In an extensive blog post regarding the shooter module (robertsspaceindustries.com), they also reported on initial successes. An update is currently on the test server that brings a series of network optimizations. These would positively impact the animations and eliminate clipping issues, it is said.
Additionally, it is interesting to note the statement that they are aiming for a tactical, rather slow-paced gameplay. The goal is to create a realistic simulation that fits into the rest of the game. A death would also have greater consequences for the players: Star Marine should not be a disposable action. This aligns with the statement that Star Marine will not be a Call of Duty clone.

This Wednesday, a new hero is on the agenda for Heroes of the Storm: The skeleton king Leoric, known from Diablo, leaves his crypt once again and enters the battlefield of the Nexus.
The Polish Facebook account of Heroes of the Storm has revealed it. Otherwise, they have remained silent, but there is much to suggest that His Majesty, the Skeleton King, will make an appearance this week..
Once again from the grave
Starting Wednesday, the mace will be swung.
Blizzard had promised to increase the release frequency of new heroes in Heroes of the Storm and seems to be making this promise come true now. The “Eternal Conflict” in the Nexus is entering the next round and is calling the undead lord Leoric once again from his grave. As a tough warrior, he will stomp across the battlefields starting Wednesday, bringing death and destruction.
Even after a defeat, one should not underestimate the pile of bones, as his spirit remains on the battlefield and can slow enemies. As if that weren’t bad enough, he doesn’t respawn in his team’s well, but at the position of his spirit. You’d better take a look at Leoric’s abilities to be prepared for battles against him. As usual, the new hero will initially cost a proud 15,000 gold coins and will only drop in price after a few weeks.

In the MMO shooter Destiny the week resets on Tuesday, July 21. What is the Nightfall Strike, what’s it like in the Prison of Elders, and what items does Variks bring?
The changes to weapon balance may still be in the future, but it won’t be too long: “House of Wolves” has reached a milestone: Now the launch of the next expansion is closer than the launch of the last one.
But let’s focus on the weekly reset.
The weekly Nightfall Strike features Omnigul; she rides the rainbow
This week, the Nightfall is once again the DLC I Strike Omnigul. It is a triple burn or also known as rainbow burn: Arc Burn, Solar Burn, Void Burn.
In the heroic weekly, we face the Archon Priest Aksor
In the heroic weekly, it’s much more common: Aksor with Void Burn.
The Prison of Elders in the week of July 21
In the 32 Prison, the ogre with digestive problems waits
In the 32 Prison of Elders, Guardians face Gulrot the Unclean once again. And he truly lives up to his name; he is really a mess.
Vex/Airborne – Guardians deal more damage when they are in the air
Cabal/Grounded – Guardians take more damage when they are in the air
Vex – Void Burn
Cabal/Angry – Enemies cannot be stopped even by impact hits
Cabal/Exposure – Shields of the Guardians are strengthened, but do not regenerate
34 Prison of Elders firmly in Cabal hands
Valus Trau’ug holds the 34 Prison. He will try to wrest a victory from the Guardians.
Cabal/Juggler – Enemies do not drop ammunition for the weapon with which they were killed
Cabal/Light Switch – Enemies deal increased damage in melee
Fallen/Catapult – The cooldown of grenades is significantly reduced
Cabal/Brawler – Guardians get a steam hammer, dealing increased melee damage
Cabal/Juggler – Enemies do not lose ammunition for the weapon with which they were taken down
In the 35 Prison of Destiny, Skolas waits once again. One thought he could only have two combinations of perks. Last week, one noticed: Okay, there are at least three. Maybe he has a surprise in store this time.
This week he has again Light Switch and Sidearms: This means that enemies are deadly in melee, and damage from primary weapons is increased.
The 5 waves leading up to him remain the same.
Cabal – Exposure/Brawler – Shields of the Guardians are strengthened but do not regenerate/their melee damage is increased
Vex – Ground/Airborne – Guardians deal more damage in the air but also take much more
Cabal – Catapult/Arc Burn – the cooldown of grenades is reduced, Arc damage is significantly increased, and this applies to enemies as well
Fallen – Specialist/Juggler – Special weapons deal double damage, enemies drop no ammunition for the weapon that defeated them
Fallen – Stream/Sidearms – The abilities have an increased cooldown, damage with primary weapons is increased
What does Variks have?
Variks sells the auto rifle and chest armor.
The auto rifle again carries the unpopular Shank Burn (against the Dregs).
The chest armor for Titans allows carrying more ammunition for special weapons and pulse rifles and increases armor and melee when in the prison against the Vex: it has 85 intellect and 88 discipline.
The chest armor for Warlocks has 79 intellect and 86 strength and is otherwise similar to that for Titans.
The chest armor for Hunters has 157 discipline, Hunters can carry more ammunition for special weapons and auto rifles; the chest armor increases armor and melee against the Cabal in the prison.
Tips, tricks, and guides?
How Guardians tackle the challenges of the week is also quite interesting. Throughout the day, we will present videos of successful or amusing runs. You can watch them and perhaps pick up a trick or two.
The start is, as often happens at this point, Nexxoss Gaming with the Nightfall this week. He has been on friendly terms with Omnigul for a long time, considering how often he has dealt with her. This time, they are on a duo mission. Triple burn means triple fun, but also triple caution: things can go south quickly.
