Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 4 minutes

After completing the story of GTA 5, you can continue offline or dive into the online world. We will show you the various activities you can expect there.

Update from May 28, 2025: The post has been checked for relevance and is up to date.

What is it about? You experience the story of Grand Theft Auto V by playing the characters Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. Together, you carry out heists, extort nasty guys, or steal expensive cars.

But eventually, the beautiful story comes to an end, and you play one of the three possible final scenarios. After that, you can continue playing GTA 5 offline or focus on the online mode. We will show you what there is to experience.

Continue playing after the story in single player

If you are not yet in the mood to face other players in online mode, you can still have a lot of fun offline.

Play the assassin: Lester regularly calls you and wants you to eliminate certain targets. During the story, you should have practiced this already. You can continue this after the story. However, keep in mind that stock prices will change as a result. So pay attention to who you kill and to which company the person belongs.

GTA 5 Stock Market
With the right stocks and actions, you can quickly become rich in GTA 5

Stock Market: Let’s stick to the topic of stocks. Without the big heists, you might run into money problems. After the last big job, you have so much money that you can comfortably invest some of it. You can participate in the stock market “BAWSAQ” through your phone.

There you will find companies from Los Santos like Clucking Bell. If you buy shares of Clucking Bell and blow up many taco trucks from TacoBomb, the competition, in the city, the price of Clucking Bell will rise, and you can sell your stocks for more money.

All “Strangers and Freaks” missions: You have already noticed them during the story, and there are really many of these missions. If you like story and satire, make sure to complete all of these missions.

GTA-5-Strangers-and-Freaks
In “Strangers and Freaks” you will meet interesting people

Get Gold Medals: When you complete missions in GTA 5, you receive bronze, silver, or gold medals. There is the big achievement “Solid Gold, Baby”, which you only receive when you have earned 70 gold medals. The medals can be earned in story missions and in “Strangers and Freaks” missions.

The best way to do this is after you have completed the story. Because then you can simply select the option in the menu to replay selected missions. Choose the ones where you have not yet earned a gold medal and get started.

After the story to GTA Online – How does it start?

If you are no longer interested in the story and want to dive right in and explore all the new content? Then start a join to GTA Online through the menu. First, create a character. And then you’re off.

Making the first money: There are various ways to make money in GTA Online. If you open the interaction menu (M on PC), you will find your daily goals there. They are usually easy to achieve and quickly earn you the first 30,000 GTA Dollars.

Through the online menu, you can tackle various types of missions to earn more money. Some of these missions are terribly easy and can be repeated endlessly.

We will show you 11 tips for beginners in GTA Online that will lead you to success.

Want a fast car? It can pay off

Buy an expensive car / Buy a business: Unlike the campaign, the online mode is always supplied with new content. This also includes regular releases of new cars. Supercars can be tuned well online and customized according to your wishes.

Once you have earned your first millions, it makes sense to buy a business first. Because that invests in the future of your account, allowing you to earn a lot of money over months.

Only then is it time to treat yourself to a car. Or, depending on your taste, a motorcycle. With a fast vehicle in tow, it is easier to win races, which brings you even more money.

Retiree tries to guess the profession of Twitch streamer Trymacs based on his upper arms

Sarah Sarah Reading time 2 minutes

Twitch streamer Trymacs experiences numerous adventures on his 600-kilometer scooter tour from Milan to Munich. A particularly quirky encounter with an elderly woman provides laughter.

Who is Trymacs? Maximilian Stemmler, better known by his online pseudonym Trymacs, is one of the biggest names on the German streaming platform Twitch. Since the beginning of his career, he has made a name for himself particularly through mobile games from Supercell, such as Clash of Clans and Clash Royale.

The Hamburger is known for regularly planning large projects where he invites other streamers. An example of this is a recently started fitness challenge in which he tries to get more athletic together with his colleagues.

You can learn more about the streamer here:

Elderly woman calls the group “gods”

How did the meeting come about? A particularly amusing moment occurs during the scooter tour, during which Trymacs is currently with his streamer colleagues, when the group stops at a level crossing to wait for a passing train. An older lady joins them.

Curious about the loud shouts from fans recognizing the streamers, she wants to know who the young men are. An entertaining conversation develops, during which the elderly woman jokingly remarks that the group must appear as “gods” to the young people.

They let the elderly woman guess what profession they have

How did the conversation continue? The group is so amused by the conversation with the elderly woman that they decide to let her guess what professions they have. They are particularly curious about what the lady thinks of Trymacs’ profession.

After a brief moment of contemplation and a checking grip on his upper arm to test his muscles, she makes an unexpected guess: She states that she thinks he is a floor acrobat.

This surprising assessment leads to great laughter from Trymacs and his companions. Unfortunately, due to the loud train in the background, it is not possible to follow the entire conversation in detail.

This extraordinary journey is being documented live on his Twitch channel, allowing his fans to be part of it up close. By his side are his streamer colleagues Nooreax, noahzett28, and Zarbex.

The tour has so far been anything but smooth: Right on the first day, Nooreax had an accident, and Trymacs struggled with bronchitis throughout the tour. Additionally, there were several quirky and unexpected events.

Trymacs, one of the biggest German streamers on Twitch, is also rising to the top internationally in a new mobile game. His well-filled wallet surely helps him with that. You can read more about it here: Twitch: Trymacs has a secret tool that makes him the best in the new mobile game – his wallet

Android and iOS compared: Which is better?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 5 minutes

Android and iOS are the largest operating systems for mobile devices in 2024. But which one is better? MeinMMO presents the differences and explains where the strengths of Android and iOS lie.

Android or iOS: This is a question that every user must consider when they want to buy a new smartphone or tablet. MeinMMO introduces the differences and explains which operating system offers advantages and what to look out for.

[toc]

What Makes Apple and iOS Better

Image of hand with iPhone

Ecosystem

Apple has a whole universe of technical products that are perfectly coordinated with each other. If you already own an iPhone or iPad, you won’t have any problems integrating an Apple Watch into your system.

Apple has developed a number of features that seamlessly transition between devices, saving valuable time and hassle. For example, you can start a text on your iPhone and seamlessly continue it on your Macintosh or iPad.

Apps

iOS has a significant advantage in that devices with iOS are very similar. Updating apps is much easier here, and updates can be distributed more easily.

In contrast, Android developers face the problem that hundreds of devices vary greatly: different aspect ratios, form factors, and various peculiarities of manufacturers for their smartphone models.

Security and Privacy

Apple’s iOS, thanks to its more closed nature, offers better privacy and security. With special privacy features, such as app tracking notifications, iOS offers significantly better data protection against third parties than Android. Additionally, iOS fundamentally restricts which data apps are allowed to analyze and use.

As impressive as that sounds: Apple and iOS also, unsurprisingly, collect a lot of data about their users. Therefore, Apple is not a saint like Google either, but overall, the data is better protected.

Support and Updates

Apple generally offers long software support for many models. While Apple eventually stops supporting very old devices and no longer distributes new iOS versions, it continues to provide important security updates. This is a key difference compared to Android, where many Android phones have to wait a long time for important updates.

Nevertheless, things have also improved in the Android ecosystem: manufacturers like Samsung and Google now provide updates for many devices for at least 5 years. With the Pixel 8 and the S-24 series from Samsung, devices even receive important updates for up to 7 years.

However, this is not a rule for Android. Especially with smaller manufacturers, long-term support is rather rare. If you’re lucky, the purchased device will be supported for 2 or 3 years, and often there won’t be any modern Android updates anymore, just “only” security updates.

With iOS 18, the iPhone is set to receive a feature that is still controversial among some users.

iOS 18 introduces new features to the iPhone, but users fear it could help scammers
von Benedikt Schlotmann

Camera

Apple typically incorporates excellent camera modules into its iPhones and provides suitable software. In the Android space, if there’s any competition, Google with its Pixel series comes close to the image quality of Apple.

The same applies to video: If you need professional video recordings, iPhones are unmatched for video recording.

What Makes Google’s Android Better

Image of Android phone

Personalization

With Android, there are fundamentally more options and choices if you want to personalize your smartphone or tablet more.

  • On the one hand, many manufacturers offer their own interfaces for their models, such as Samsung with OneUI or Xiaomi with MIUI.
  • On the other hand, you can freely choose from numerous themes, colors, and options, customizing your phone to your preferences.
  • Furthermore, you can buy different models for nearly every situation: From outdoor phones to budget phones costing 80 Euros, Android offers almost everything.

In general, there are few limits on Android when it comes to personalizing or setting up your phone or tablet.

Hardware and Pricing Policy

With iOS, you can only buy your devices from Apple, and the company has more or less a monopoly here. Accordingly, prices are quite high.

Android is more open and “relaxed:” You can buy cheap Android phones for less than 100 Euros, but you will have to forgo many features in this price range.

Nevertheless, you are very flexible with price or how much you ultimately want to spend on Android. There are hundreds of different models from various manufacturers between 100 Euros and 1,000 Euros from which you can freely choose.

Thanks to the multitude of companies producing Android devices, you will find plenty of options for every budget. We tested a particularly affordable phone for you at MeinMMO:

von Benedikt Schlotmann

Technical Features

When it comes to new technologies and features, Android is often much faster and more flexible than iOS. From support for 5G networks to wireless charging and 4G LTE to voice commands without touching the device – Android is leading and leaving iOS behind.

Google adapts Android much faster than Apple does iOS, which is also due to the fact that hundreds of new Android models come onto the market each year. A market that changes much faster than iOS, where only Apple provides the devices and the software.

Expandable Storage

Many, especially inexpensive, Android devices usually offer you the option to easily expand your storage with an SD card.

But beware: In expensive models, such as Samsung’s Galaxy series, storage expansion is only possible with the top models (Ultra series). In the budget category, expandable storage is still more common.

Android or iOS: Which is Better Now?

What should I buy? If you have been using a particular ecosystem for years and have owned an Android phone for years, then the decision to choose an Android phone will likely be easier than switching to iOS. If you already own an Apple device, it will be easier for you to stay within the Apple and iOS ecosystem.

Moreover, Apple’s ecosystem is very closed and assumes that you have purchased many devices from Apple. Apple’s devices are usually not compatible with Android either. If you actively use Windows, Android may ultimately be the better choice, as it is simply more flexible than iOS in many respects. iOS, on the other hand, offers better data protection and significantly better camera quality.

Pros of Android:

  • Open, highly customizable, and flexible
  • Many different hardware manufacturers
  • Wide range of prices from 100 to 1,700 Euros
  • Regularly new features

Pros of iOS:

  • Camera: Outstanding image and video quality
  • Security and privacy
  • Long support and many security updates
  • Perfectly coordinated ecosystem

Both sides offer various advantages and disadvantages and provide arguments for why one should buy a smartphone or device. Ultimately, the question is what is most important to you or the decisive factor when purchasing a device.

An app tip on MeinMMO: MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has tried several apps to become more economical. And it has really paid off. Because at the end of the month, he always had a few Euros left over because he actually kept an app on his phone: I use a free app on Android and save about 30 Euros every month with it

A game on Steam lets me clean up behind failed heroes as a goblin maid and I love this concept

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 3 minutes

During the Steam Next Fest, MeinMMO author Linda Knabe checked out the demo of Goblin Cleanup and immediately fell in love with the game’s concept. As part of Find Your Next Game, she wants to introduce it to you here.

Goblin Cleanup caught my eye immediately in the list of all the Steam Next Fest showcases. I generally enjoy games where I have to clean up and tidy up – like PowerWash Simulator or House Flipper – or I can watch other players do it for hours.

But Goblin Cleanup also lured me in with a fresh and fun concept that is a bit different from just plain cleaning or renovating. It was clear that I wanted to give the demo a chance.

Start video
Goblin Cleanup is the perfect mix of cleaning simulator and dungeon exploration

The concept behind Goblin Cleanup is actually quite simple: You play as a goblin maid, also classically dressed in a cute maid outfit, who tidies up her master’s dungeon after a few heroes have failed there.

Before you start the game later, you can customize your maid, although the “default maid” already looked incredibly cute. In the demo version, customization is not yet possible, but I was able to take a look at the available options. You can customize the body type, hair, face, and accessories, for example. But you can also choose your “cleaning tool” specifically for your maid.

More fun in cooperative mode

Then you choose between a solo or cooperative round. I only tested the solo mode, but I can imagine that the cooperative mode is a lot more fun.

So you dive into one of the possible dungeons and start cleaning. And this is where the real fun of the game begins. Your task is to prepare the dungeon for the next heroes and to remove the remnants of the previous heroes. At some points, I just thought, “So this is where you died? Embarrassing!”

Basically, as a goblin maid, you have a few core tasks:

  • Wipe up blood from floors and walls.
  • Return furniture, barrels, and torches to their places.
  • Feed the remains of heroes to the mimic chests.
  • Return the golden loot to the chest.
  • Reset triggered and destroyed traps or recharge them with new mana.

What sounds simple can quickly become dangerous for a goblin maid. I died a few times in my first round because I just didn’t think properly. I could have guessed that this laser-eyed ball would constantly attack me as soon as I repaired it. Also, you should not get too close to the mimic chest, because they notoriously do not differentiate between friend or foe.

A goblin maid must clean, but also survive

But that’s exactly what I love about the whole concept behind Goblin Cleanup. It’s not just about cleaning, but I also have to survive myself – because if I die, I leave a mess that I then have to clean up. Because no, you don’t just die and the round is over. In the dungeon, there are altars that you can activate, and where you respawn.

This is also the point that will definitely be even more fun in cooperative mode. To see how your colleagues might suddenly get impaled because they step on a hidden button or get eaten by a chest.

At least you then also know better where you should be more careful. Sending someone else in first or pushing them into a trap to trigger it first, and then safely proceeding could definitely also be a tactic.

Ultimately, I was also impressed by a few small details in the game. For example, when you wipe up blood with your impaled little blue slime, he looks more and more sad and desperate the redder he becomes.

I felt a little sorry for him every time I had to feed him to the chest, but the work has to be done. After all, I’m a model goblin maid and leave no mess behind. By the way, MyMMO editor Benedict Grothaus tested a game at the Next Fest that is not usually his thing, and it convinced him nonetheless: Steam: I played a survival game that is way too cute for me and still had fun

Arrested after the exam: Applicant for university fails with high-tech cheating – but impresses the police

Gerald Wessel Gerald Wessel Reading time 2 minutes

A young man is serious: a button camera, a transmitter in his shoe, an AI, and a mini earpiece are supposed to grant him access to the university. But now he is in jail. What happened? The accusations and the story behind it.

Who cheated and how? The events highlighted by Arstechnica take place in southwestern Turkey, in the province of Isparta. A male candidate for university admission participated in the required entrance exam called TYT. Without passing this, there is no way to get into a Turkish university.

Not an alleged fraud, but an art project is the creator of hundreds of USB sticks that protrude from walls:

Start video
In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?

Worthy of an agent – albeit an awkward one

How did he allegedly cheat? These are the accusations: The university applicant was wearing a miniature camera disguised as a button on his shirt during the exam. This camera transmitted a video recording of the exam questions and possible answers via a transmitter in the sole of his shoe to a phone, where an AI received the recording. It analyzed the handwriting, recognized the text, searched for the correct answer, and whispered it to him through a small earpiece in his ear.

What happened? He got caught because he was behaving suspiciously. The technology apparently worked perfectly, but the way he used it led to his downfall. Unfortunately, it was not reported exactly what behavior caused the young man to be discovered. Now he is waiting in jail for his trial.

We are not experts in Turkish law, but as the reports read, the offense he is accused of appears to carry quite heavy penalties. So he might end up behind bars for some time.

As part of the investigation, the police also arrested another person who is said to have assisted the alleged cheater. There was apparently a Plan B in case the AI failed. According to the information we have, this second suspect would have taken on the role of the transmitter via phone.

The police, meanwhile, seem to be even impressed by the method – although certainly not by the goal of cheating. They posted a video, which Mail Online shows you here. In it, they demonstrate the functionality of the elaborate method.

Artificial intelligence in all its forms can, however, do far more than just help people cheat. Some are even using it nowadays to achieve political success. For example, Steve Endacott, who acts as an extended arm of an AI to secure a seat in the UK Parliament. We have written his story and the AI that supports him here.

Destiny 2: How to unlock the new Exo weapon ‘Microcosm’

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2 you can get a new Exo weapon with “The Final Shape”: the Microcosm. What you need to do for the heavy pulse rifle with kinetic element can be found out here.

What kind of weapon is Microcosm? The Microcosm is a pulse rifle in the heavy slot. The weapon has the kinetic element and can score with the following perks:

  • Causal Infusion: Final blows with this weapon grant super energy. This weapon receives bonus damage once your super is depleted.
  • Causal Beam: Fires a beam of kinetic light, dealing massive bonus damage to shields.

The rifle is unique, as there has not been a pulse rifle in the heavy weapon slot before. If you own the expansion “The Final Shape”, you should definitely get the weapon; it can prove especially useful against bosses and in battles against champions. Shields can also be grilled excellently with it.

We will now show you step by step what you need to do to hold this weapon in your hands soon.

All Steps to Unlock Microcosm

What do I need to do? Before you start the quest, you should have completed the campaign of “The Final Shape” and the Exo quest “Chosen Heroes”. It’s important that you have fully unlocked access to the Shattered Hearts so that Micah-10 can assign you their recovery quests.

You will receive the recovery quests as you complete them one after the other. If you have access to the patrol zones, you need to take the following steps:

  • Complete the quest “Recovery: Rootbound”.
  • Pick up the quest “Recovery: Underbrush” from Micah-10.
  • Complete the quest “Recovery: Underbrush”.
    • There is a bug that does not register progress when equipping a mod. The bug can be fixed by killing an enemy in the vicinity.
  • Pick up the quest “Recovery: Vegetation” from Micah-10.
  • Complete the quest “Recovery: Vegetation”.
  • Pick up the quest “Recovery: Sprout” from Micah-10.
  • Complete the Exo quest “Recovery: Sprout”.
    • For this quest step, you need to complete three crunchy missions from the campaign that bring increased difficulty and new mechanics. You will find the missions on the map of the Shattered Hearts under the replayable missions. You must complete the following:
      • Ascension
      • Dissent
      • Iconoclasm
Important Info on Quest “Recovery: Sprout”

The missions are tough and require a fireteam. Also, some phases feature “darkness zones” that limit your revives. So equip yourself with your best gear and find a team.

  • Once all quests are completed, you just need to speak with Micah-10. She will hand you the rifle.

All quests are easy to find and complete, as you can select them in the menu under “Quests”. This will show you waypoints that lead you to the important places. So mark your quests before starting so you always know where to go.

How good is the weapon? The rifle is worth the effort. Especially in tougher activities like Nightfalls or Raids, where matching damage types are important, you can ignore the elements with Microcosm. Every shield element from every faction will be burned with the rifle. Additionally, you deal massive damage should your ultimate be depleted.

The weapon is thus a strong alternative for all guardians who do not want to specifically take out shields with the Arbalest. Have you already been able to get the weapon or are the missions too difficult for you? Let us know in the comments.

  • Medieval Dynasty offers a mix of survival and life simulation.
  • You build and manage your own village in medieval Europe. You take care of all important matters concerning your community.
  • Interactions with NPCs are a major focus, and meeting their needs is an essential step to expanding your community.

In December 2023, Steam players could already dive into the co-op mode, which was very well received in the community at the time. Now, a trailer has finally announced the mode for consoles:

When does the co-op mode start on consoles? As proclaimed in the trailer by the town crier himself, the date for the launch of the co-op mode on consoles has now been announced. The mode will start on June 27, 2024, on the PS5 and Xbox.

It has also been announced that crossplay will be possible, allowing you to play with your friends at any time, regardless of which platform you play Medieval Dynasty on.

What else does the update offer? In addition to the expected co-op mode, console players can also look forward to a new map after the update and explore Piastovia, the heart and soul of the Oxbow. A thrilling new mission is also expected to begin there.

The “Oxbow Map” promises you an unknown, new realm filled with interesting characters, impressive landmarks, and welcoming villages. You can then explore this with your friends while hunting, trading, and expanding your communities together.

Additionally, console players can look forward to the character editor. This allows you to customize your male or female character according to your preferences. You should be able to equip your character with even more personality tailored to yourself before diving into the co-op mode.

In the new hero shooter FragPunk, you let your opponents grow huge heads and unleash the grim reaper on them

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

During the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, a new hero shooter was presented, which relies on a fast-paced concept with card decks and will also be released on Steam. You can learn more about it here on MeinMMO.

What game is this about? During the last Xbox Games Showcase, the new hero shooter FragPunk was introduced for the first time. It is being developed by Bad Guitar Studio and is set to enter closed alpha on June 27, 2024, for which you can register on the official website (via fragpunk.com).

The 5v5 hero shooter is expected to be released on both Xbox and PC via Steam.

FragPunk uses card decks for powerful power-ups

What can you expect? The trailer provides a first glimpse into the concept revolving around the card decks, which seem to play a significant role in FragPunk and could give you a crucial advantage in battles.

Games are played in teams of 5 players each, and each round is supposed to last 2.5 minutes. Proper preparation and taking the best cards into the round could thus be a crucial aspect. Because there isn’t always enough time to strategize and think during the rounds.

The fans are not afraid of a bad Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – the reason is quite simple
von Cedric Holmeier

10 Heroes, 15 Weapons, and over 70 Maps

In advance, you choose between 10 different heroes with unique abilities, customize your weapon combinations, and select which cards you will take into battle. In total, you are supposed to have 15 weapons and over 70 cards available.

The trailer already gives you a little taste of what is possible with the various cards:

  • Let tall grass grow where you can hide and herbs that dampen your sounds.
  • When an opponent’s HP falls below 50%, unleash a grim reaper on them who takes them out instantly.
  • Make your opponents grow huge heads and master every headshot.
  • Turn the game world upside down or cause a powerful chain reaction.
  • Simply change the roles of attackers and defenders during an ongoing round.

As the trailer suggests, you can only use the cards once per round, as they are destroyed upon use. Whether you have to choose three cards as a team that each member can then use once, or if each member has their own deck is not yet entirely clear.

However, it is promised that due to the use and combinations of the various cards, no round will be the same and the possibilities for your team will be diverse. Shooter fans seem to be well catered to this year already. In May, a first-person shooter was also released on Steam that has already received many good reviews: In a new first-person shooter, the developers send you into a colorful cartoon world

The fans are not afraid of a bad Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – the reason is quite simple

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In autumn, a new installment of the Call of Duty series will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and in Game Pass. Fans of the series are not worried that it could be a bad installment.

When will Black Ops 6 be released? On October 25, the new installment of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be released. In addition to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, the first Microsoft CoD will also launch in Game Pass on day one. Whether the new installment will be good is still uncertain, after all, fans are getting back a mode they’ve wanted for a long time.

Even if the new installment could turn out not to be good, fans are not worried; on the contrary: anticipation for the new CoD is high.

Here you can watch the trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6:

Has no consequences for me if it fails

Why are fans excited about the new installment? Recently, a user’s post on Reddit attracted a lot of attention. In the post by YungFooz, he describes that he is looking forward to the new CoD installment because this time he doesn’t have to invest anything.

I am more excited about this game because there are no consequences for me if it fails. I skipped MW3 because it sounded like a terrible MW2 DLC for $70, but I actually feel like I can look forward to this CoD release simply because I don’t have to spend extra money to play it. Of course, I want the game to be a big success, but if it isn’t, it’s no big deal. Is anyone else in the same boat? It’s a great feeling for this franchise.

writes YungFooz on Reddit.

Simply looking forward to Call of Duty without the fear of wasting €79.99 sounds good at first, but not all users share the author’s opinion in the comments under the post.

What is the community’s opinion? The community is somewhat divided. Some share YungFooz’s opinion, while others say they will get hyped again, even though it’s the same game every year.

This opinion is also shared by Based_Jd on Reddit: “It’s hard not to get caught up in the hype … But remember this is all part of the annual CoD cycle.”

DarkLink457 is also looking forward to Reddit: “Yes, this year seems more promising than the last few years, plus it has the longest development time of all Call of Dutys.”

pennypacker89 finds this a bit silly on Reddit: “It’s crazy that we repeat this every year. And every year it’s the same thing.”

Thin-Connection-4082 doesn’t care about any of this on Reddit: “I won’t play it because it’s 300 GB. And still it streams textures, what? Ridiculous.”

The fact that the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is in Game Pass has delighted the regular player base before.

Pokémon GO starts today EM event with new routes – But only in 10 cities

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, a new event has started today in line with the European Championship. However, a large part of the trainers will not be able to fully enjoy it.

What kind of event is this? In conjunction with the Football European Championship, Pokémon GO is bringing an event to Germany that accompanies the tournament. The event in Pokémon GO will take place from June 14, 2024, to July 14, 2024.

Alongside a limited-time research and a bonus, there will also be new official routes for the event. However, this is only if you live in the right cities.

Exclusive content for cities of the EM

What’s the deal with the routes? In addition to the option to create your own routes in Pokémon GO, Niantic can also create official routes. They are doing this now as part of the EM event in Germany. The problem: only the cities that are hosting EM matches will receive them.

This means that there are only official routes for the event in the following cities: Berlin, Cologne, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt (Main), Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich, and Stuttgart. All trainers living in other locations will be excluded.

What other content is available in the event? In addition to the limited official routes, there is also a bonus available in the event. This grants you three times the amount of experience points daily at the first spin of a PokéStop or a gym.

This bonus is available to all trainers in Germany and not just in the cities where the routes are activated.

Additionally, there is a free, limited-time research that is active in the event. Trainers will have the opportunity to catch a Voltorb and corresponding candies every week. The first part of this research is already active and will also reward you with 10,000 Stardust and Ultra Balls.

To successfully complete the research and receive all rewards, you need to cover a distance of 16 km.

The limited-time research is also available to all trainers in Germany.

WoW players abduct boss from dungeon, release him in the wilderness

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A boss in World of Warcraft Classic is being abducted by players. He then goes on a rampage in the cities – and simply cannot be defeated.

In World of Warcraft, there are occasionally curious bugs and errors. The Classic version of Cataclysm also has some interesting glitches that make some heroes in Stormwind and Orgrimmar raise an eyebrow in surprise. Because on the Cataclysm realms, a boss is currently wandering around in the cities who does not actually belong there.

Start video
WoW Cataclysm Cinematic Trailer

What’s going on in WoW Classic? For several days, players in WoW Cataclysm have reported that curious things are happening in the capitals. For instance, you can see the boss Helix Gearbreaker, who actually belongs in the Deadmines. However, he is frequently found in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, fighting against several dozen guards at the same time – but never dying. A little bug and the resulting exploit are the reason.

How does it work? The trick or exploit is not that complicated. You only need to enter the Deadmines and advance to the second boss of the dungeon, Helix Gearbreaker. Then a mage conjures a portal to a capital city and the fight begins. As soon as Helix jumps on the back of a player, that character goes through a portal – and Helix is taken along into the big world.

Since he is considered hostile by all guards everywhere, he is immediately involved in a fight. However, Helix can never die, so he gathers more and more guards and causes some attention with his shouts.

What is so curious about it? Actually, bosses (and all mobs in general) cannot escape from dungeons. After all, they are in a separate instance, and if they wanted to chase a character, they would simply be reset.

There is only one exception in very few cases. For instance, when a debuff on a character causes the mobs to appear afterwards, or in the case of Helix Gearbreaker, when he jumps on the back of a character.

Is this a new bug? No, it has been around since the first release of Cataclysm. However, the bug was fixed after a few days, after some realms even crashed due to too many copies of Helix causing chaos in the capitals.

That this bug is now appearing again in WoW Cataclysm Classic seems to be something that was simply forgotten during development. But after more than a decade, such a small detail can definitely be overlooked, right? Elsewhere, dungeons bring joy – because they are already over in 21 seconds.

Bungie dares to introduce new mission types in Destiny 2, but certain players are not happy about it

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny 2 has caused a stir among fans with its new Exo mission “Destiny Duel.” Some love the new mission type for two players, while others condemn it. You can find out why the community is divided here.

What has Bungie developed? With the launch of the first episode: Echos, players were able to find a new secret mission in the Bleached Heart of the Traveler: the Destiny Duel. In this mission, two players are sent to solve puzzles and secure the exotic class item of their equipped class.

With these class items, players can create diverse builds along with the new ultimate “Prismatic.” Many guardians rave about the new mission type and the difficulty of Destiny Duel, but some solo players in the community express their dissatisfaction.

Start video
Bungie shows the future of Destiny 2 after The Final Shape in the new trailer

Group players love it, solo players hate it

What are players complaining about? It’s about the new Exo mission “Destiny Duel.” After enduring a lengthy process to permanently activate the mission, the mission can be accessed through your star map in the Bleached Heart of the Traveler. However, there is a catch: the mission is designed for two players – understandable, as it is a duel.

If that wasn’t bad enough for solo players, communication is especially important. The mission is challenging and tied to specific mechanics that require communication. For players who prefer to play without a headset or keyboard, this is annoying, especially when they want to secure the item.

Many fans are therefore voicing their grievances on Reddit and YouTube. The following opinions can be heard:

  • “The problem is what the problem has always been, Bungie listens to streamers and not to gamers, we don’t always want timers, mechanics, and high stress, we get that at work! Bungie, please respect our limited time.” – DragonGfunk
  • “My problem with it is that it’s not just a single Exo. It cuts off the entire ability to get exotic class items that were somewhat part of the marketing for Prismatic if you don’t succeed.” – CrunksUchiha
  • “Not solo-friendly” is an understatement; it’s actually anti-solo-friendly at this point.” – JesahsuKuristoh
  • “One of the main problems for solo players when it comes to a specific quest is that LFG is only in demand when something is new. So if you don’t jump on it right away, good luck finding someone to do it with in two weeks.” – Mebirduwine

Other players, on the other hand, celebrate the mission and are glad that Bungie has finally put something in place that reflects the character of Destiny 1:

  • “To be honest, this DLC as a whole feels much more like a return to Destiny 1’s gameplay model, where you REALLY want to have some endgame gear to get it.” – Gravy-0
  • “Exactly. I don’t want any more missions like ‘Dunk Ball’ or ‘Stand here and shoot the enemy.’ That was a really nice change of pace.” – Wide_Television747
  • “It’s like a raid for two. And I’m here for it.” – Humorhead
  • “It’s a fantastic mission. You’re missing out if you haven’t done it at least once.” – celestialnative

Do you always have to complete the mission? Actually, no. Every player who has completed Destiny Duel on their current character can easily farm the exotic class items in the “Nerf” activity in the Bleached Heart of the Traveler. You just have to walk around and open chests. Streamers like Aztecross talk about 15 minutes of effort to get one Exo. It’s worth it.

The head of a company explains why working from home is only good for individual employees and never for large teams

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Home office or remote work only became truly popular during the Corona pandemic. To this day, home office is controversial in some areas. The CEO of a company now says: Working from home is not a good idea for teams.

Who is speaking? Jake Wood is the CEO of the company Groundswell. Groundswell is a corporate philanthropy firm. In a post on LinkedIn, he explained that home office is not a good idea in large companies. This is mainly because very high-performing individuals enhance the productivity of their surroundings. And if they stay away, performance decreases. This is reported by Spanish colleagues from Genbeta.com.

Good team players enhance the performance of colleagues, which is not possible in a home office

What exactly does he say? According to the CEO, a person may be able to work on time and to standard in a remote environment, but it is always necessary to consider colleagues:

High performers enhance the performance of those around them. This is severely hampered when top talents (who benefit most from remote work) work from home.

This leads to much of the rest of the company working inefficiently. New employees are integrated more slowly. And he agrees with studies that state that junior staff cannot develop professionally when high performers are absent. He also notes:

If you don’t care about improving others’ performance, that’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with that. But maybe you prefer to be a freelancer who can work where and how they want rather than a full-time employee.

For this reason, he considers home office to be rather counterproductive and disadvantageous. He also adds that work is not about personal productivity or performance. It is more about being a good team player and “contributing to enhancing others’ performance. Even if a top employee would ultimately deliver more performance at home in the home office than if they were sitting in the office.

„How like a tech demo and costs 30 €“ – The most realistic bodycam shooter on Steam causes mixed feelings

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

For more than a week, the shooter Bodycam has been in Early Access on Steam. This gives players enough time to try out whether the game can meet their expectations.

What kind of game is this? Bodycam is a first-person shooter developed with Unreal Engine 5 and was released on Steam about a week ago. The multiplayer shooter, which focuses on PvP, has a unique feature: it allows you to experience the game from the perspective of a bodycam.

The immersive feeling of being right in the action is created by the shooter’s graphic style. The developers pay attention to making everything as realistic as possible and to incorporating many details. With this concept, the shooter garnered attention on social media early on.

Here you can watch the Bodycam trailer:

Just an expensive tech demo?

How is Bodycam received on Steam? For more than a week, the ultra-realistic shooter has been in Early Access on Steam. The shooter has received a “mostly positive” rating with 72% based on over 11,000 votes. Currently, over 8,000 players are playing the game during peak times.

Players have mixed reactions to the state of the game. For some, the shooter is just a tech demo, while for others, it’s a successful change of pace:

mystoboy writes on Steam: “The game currently feels like a tech demo and costs €30. I wouldn’t spend more than €10 on it right now. The peer-to-peer servers don’t work well, as the host often leaves the game after the first death. Of the 30 minutes I played, I spent 15 minutes trying to find a lobby where I could actually play. […]”

TryhardXD;) wishes for something on Steam: “Good game, but we need an offline mode with bots!” SoulofFlesh writes on Steam: “I’ll rate this as quite fun and unique, and I won’t give up on it just because they aren’t ‘experienced developers’. […]”

Ischke writes on Steam: “[…] Although the game is in Early Access and has some bugs, there are far fewer than one would expect from a game of this kind. The focus is on realism and extremely loud, very very loud weapons. One must get used to the movements and actually think about their actions. I have much more fun with this game than, for example, R6 [Rainbow Six: Siege]. […]”

What else is planned for Bodycam this year? The developers of Bodycam have already shared a roadmap with their plans for the rest of 2024. Initial priorities are bug fixes and various improvements to performance, anti-cheat, and other aspects. New maps are also set to be added soon.

Later in the year, the promised zombie mode is also expected to arrive. In addition to new weapons, further maps, and character skins, they are also working on Nvidia DLSS support.

Towards the end of the year, a new game mode, new maps, a photo mode, and additional languages are set to be introduced. Bodycam is not the only shooter that went viral with ultra-realism. The shooter Unrecord also garnered a lot of attention early on, with videos of its gameplay.

Which Pokémon are particularly worthwhile? Both Shiny hunters and trainers focusing on raids or the battle league can benefit from the event. The Shiny debut of Krabbox could be interesting for collectors who want to add a new Shiny to their Pokédex.

If you still need strong additions for your raid teams, Rihorn could be interesting. Its final evolution Rihornior is a strong Pokémon both as a rock and ground attacker and can also be found in the list of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

On the other hand, Rocara shines in the battle league. It is one of the best Pokémon in the Super League and currently ranks 4th in the list from PvPoke. If you need a good specimen, you should take advantage of the event.

Thanks to the bonus in the event, where you receive double candies when catching Pokémon, you can also collect the necessary candies better to level up these Pokémon. If you use a Nanab Berry when catching, you can get a whopping 12 candies per catch.

What do you think of the event? Are there any features that particularly interest you? Feel free to write your opinion in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers. We also have an overview of all events in Pokémon GO for June 2024.

Destiny 2: How to find the new Exotic Class Items and farm them efficiently

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 there has been an exotic mission in “The Final Shape” since the launch of Episode: Echos, through which you can access the Exotic Class Items. This is how you can find the mission “Destiny Duel” and how to best farm the Exos.

What are the Exotic Class Items? Since the Traveler has been freed from the Witness and Episode: Echos has launched, Guardians can indulge in a new powerful item for their arsenal – the Exotic Class Items. These items fit into the class slot and are of exotic nature.

The special thing about these items: they grant your Guardian two additional effects from Exotic Armor. This means that if you equip such an item on your Guardian, it would be as if you were wearing two Exotic Armors – but in a weaker form.

Important Information about the Class Item
  • You can only equip the items if you have the Ultimate “Prismatic” equipped.
  • You can only wear one Exotic Armor or a Class Item – both do not work.

However, the problem is that these items are not easy to obtain. You need to make a small effort before you can wear such a unique item on your arm, shoulders, or hips. That’s why we will briefly and thoroughly show you how to quickly get these Exos and how to farm them quickly as well.

More about the future of Destiny 2 was revealed by Bungie in its last stream:

Start video
Bungie shows the future of Destiny 2 after The Final Shape in the new trailer

How to find the Exotic Class Items

How do I unlock the Exos? To earn the Exotic Class Items, you must unlock the Exotic mission “Destiny Duel.” To unlock the mission, you first need to complete the campaign of “The Final Shape” so that you have access to the patrol zones of the Blighted Heart.

Once you have done that, you need to complete the regional activity “Topple” in the areas: the Outskirt, the Bloom, and the Dead End.

After you have done that, the “Secret Keepers of the Witch Queen” will spawn when you complete a “Topple” activity in the three areas. You now need to find and defeat them. This means you will have to play “Topple” again in each of the three areas and eliminate the three Witches.

Nexxoss shows you from minute 1:24 where the individual Witches are located in their respective areas:

What you should keep in mind when defeating the Witches

Completing the “Topple” activity activates a timer that ticks down slowly. In these 5 minutes, you must find and eliminate the Witch in your area. If you do not do this, the Witch will despawn and you will have to complete Topple again in the respective area.

Once you have found and defeated the Witches, you need to return to the area “The Bloom.” When you spawn, you will see a green glowing pillar of light reaching into the sky towards the Traveler’s opening. You need to go there now. Follow the direction until you arrive at the cave “The Refraction of Light.”

Upon entering the cave, a 7-minute countdown will start. In this countdown, you must find your way outside and into the area where Ikora’s ship crashed. You will see two pyramids spawn. You now need to clear the areas beneath the pyramids of enemies until a Herald and an Omen spawn each. Defeat both and they will drop a Light Orb and a Darkness Orb respectively.

You must quickly bring these Orbs back to the cave “The Refraction of Light.” Depending on which Orb you are holding, you must deposit it onto a plate of Darkness or Light. Once you have done this, the mission “Destiny Duel” will be permanently activated. Now you must complete the mission, and afterward, you can claim a Class Item for your class.

Keep in mind that you can only complete the mission as a duo squad. So you need a buddy to help you. The mission cannot be started solo.

How can I best farm the Exos? There are two ways to farm the Exos:

  • You farm the mission “Destiny Duel.”
  • You collect normal chests in “Topple” after you have completed the Exo mission once.

Completing the mission grants you a Class Item per run (duration about 20-30 minutes) depending on your speed. The problem, however, is that you always have to be in pairs. This is especially a downside for solo players.

The variant with the chests in Topple is easier and faster. Players have found that after 15-20 minutes of farming, they were able to obtain an Exotic Class Item. Streamers like Aztecross also recommend farming chests in the areas where the Ergo-Sum can currently be farmed. This way, you maximize your farming rounds.

You need to farm these items because the perks in the Class Items are always random. So if you want a God Roll for your build, you will necessarily have to choose one of the options.

Destiny 2: Exotic Class Items and Their Perks in German – Overview of All Combinations

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 5 minutes

Bungie has ensured that players can now indulge in new and powerful exotic class items in Destiny 2 with its latest exotic mission “Destiny Duel”. We will show you which perks are available for which classes.

Update, June 14, 2024: We have updated the article and added all important perks along with descriptions.

What are exotic class items? In Destiny 2, Guardians have the opportunity to equip exotic weapons and armor to benefit from powerful perks that are unique. These can change entire playstyles and thus allow for a variety of builds.

Exotic class items were also introduced with Destiny 1, but they were linked to political factions and were mostly cosmetic. With “The Final Shape“, exotic class items are finally set to return in Destiny 2. This time, however, they are not only cosmetic but also offer various exotic perks from exo armor that Guardians should know about.

Which perks those are and why Bungie still needs to tone down the items, you will find out here.

The names of the exotics have been included in the tables as a guideline so you know what functions the perks have. Bungie will adjust some of these effects at the release of “The Final Shape” to ensure that some combinations are not too powerful.

You should be powerful, but not too powerful

How is the system supposed to work? Unlike their older versions from Destiny 1, the exotic class items equip you with two exotic perks from known exo armors. The perks appear randomly, so you cannot choose them and must rely on your RNG luck.

You will receive the items from the exo mission “Destiny Duel”, which you must first activate. It is tied to prerequisites that you must complete before you can activate it. Unfortunately, the mission can only be played in pairs and is quite challenging. Find out how you can get it here.

Destiny-2-exotic-class-item-Hunter
Class item for Hunter
Destiny-2-exotic-class-item-Titan
Class item for Titans
Destiny-2-exotic-class-item
Class item for Warlocks

This item feels like wearing two exos at the same time – but in a toned-down form. However, note that there is one annoying catch.

Is there a catch? Yes, because although the gear is powerful, you can only use the items if you are using the new subclass “Prismatic”. The Light and Darkness classes do not benefit from the exotic class items and cannot be equipped when you have these active.

WoW loses another chief – John Hight is stepping down

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

World of Warcraft has suffered another loss. A long-time developer is leaving Blizzard to start something new.

In recent months and years, there have been repeated reports that key figures in the World of Warcraft team have left one after another – or have been fired. Now another person, who has played a leading role in WoW in recent years, is disappearing.

The next expansion of World of Warcraft will be coming soon:

What did John Hight do? John Hight was at Blizzard for a total of 12 years and most recently served as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of the entire Warcraft franchise – which includes not only World of Warcraft but also Hearthstone and Warcraft Rumble.

After joining Blizzard in 2011, he was a Senior Producer for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria and Production Director for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. After serving in the same role for WoW: Battle for Azeroth, he then became the Franchise General Manager of the game.

Why is Hight leaving? On X, Hight spoke up and announced that he is leaving Blizzard. He also thanks the community and praises them especially for their passion. He says:

After 12 incredible years at Blizzard, I have decided to step down and begin a new quest.

This was a tough decision, but I believe that now is a good time for it: Warcraft is in a fantastic position as the universe turns 30.

It has been an honor to serve all the heroes of Azeroth.

You are the most passionate, dedicated, and creative community in gaming. You are the reason I have poured my heart and soul into creating the best possible games. You have inspired me, challenged me, and made me a stronger developer.

Where is Hight going now? What Hight plans to do next is still not entirely clear. However, it seems he wants to remain anchored in video game development at least. He continues:

I can’t say exactly where my journey will take me now, but I look forward to exploring new opportunities and challenges in the industry and continuing to create great games with talented people.

In the future, Hight also wants to continue experiencing World of Warcraft – but only as a player and no longer in a leading position. We will surely hear in the coming months and years where he has landed. After all, many other Blizzard employees have gone on to found new studios or join other companies – such as Ghostcrawler, who is working on a new MMORPG.
