General News

One day, you might wake up, turn on your computer, and log into ROB RUN to check your criminal empire, only to discover that you've suddenly lost everything. You're back in prison, facing a sentence that could last for decades.

Is your criminal career over? Not exactly. This is actually part of the game's weekly server wipe, known as a Federal Raid, which takes place every 7 days. However, a wipe doesn't simply delete everything. Instead, the game follows its own storyline and a fixed process to handle your character and assets.

Federal Raid

After 7 days in a server, the storyline will indicate that Feds have finally caught up with you.

The process is almost identical to what happens when you voluntarily surrender. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO Act) is applied to your character. Your vehicles, cash, weapons, properties, and nearly all other assets are confiscated before your prison sentence is calculated.

The sentence follows a specific formula. It starts at 1 year, with an additional year for every $500,000 worth of assets you own. Each individual server has a maximum sentence of 40 years, while the combined sentence across all servers is capped at 10,000 years.

Prison Sentences and Skill Tree Progression

The system confiscates all the assets you've accumulated during the current cycle and calculates your prison sentence based on their total value. The more wealth you lose, the more Authority points you receive.

Some sections of Skill Tree will be marked as Under Investigation. You'll need to serve a certain number of years before these features become available.

Authority progress is permanent and can be used to unlock specific Black Market goods and new tattoos. Authority reward track has 23 levels, with the final reward unlocking at 800 Authority.

What Do You Get to Keep?

A Federal Raid doesn't leave you with absolutely nothing. Although Feds have unfortunately sent you to prison, your criminal skills have earned you some respect. In short, you get to keep the following:

• B-Coin
• Tattoos and cosmetics
• Accumulated total prison sentence
• Player name and settings

B-Coin

B-Coin is the premium currency used to trade cosmetic items. It cannot be earned through regular gameplay or converted from ROB RUN Cash. It is only available through real-money transactions, which means it is not affected by server wipes.

There are around 285 skins and cosmetic items in the game, allowing you to customize your character, weapons, and vehicles. However, none of these items provide additional gameplay advantages, ensuring a fair playing field for both paying and free-to-play players.

Police Officers

Some players enjoy taking on the role of a police officer and hunting down other players. However, playing as a cop doesn't offer particularly good earnings, and you'll also have to wait for an available position at the police station.

Even if all your income comes from the legitimate salary you earn as a police officer, Feds will still take you to prison for trial and confiscate all your assets.

Highlands

If you own property in Highlands, you're already a cut above most other criminals in the game.

In other areas, a Federal Raid wipes out all your assets, including cash, vehicles, and real estate. However, if you're a Highlands resident, your property can safely carry over with you to a new server or state.

First, you need to unlock and acquire Land Plot Title from Cargo branch of Black Market Skill Tree. Next, find a settlement owned by another player on Global Map and use your title to rent a plot there. Your base will then be established at that location.

A Tier 1 area costs approximately $150,000 in total. Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas require considerably more, at around $1,000,000 and $3,000,000, respectively.

Many players can only earn a little over 100,000 cash per match, and there is always the risk of getting arrested by the police. Choosing cheap ROB RUN cash for sale can help you secure a base in Highlands much faster.

This is a more expensive but also more powerful option. You can directly acquire an entire unclaimed settlement and become its owner.

The total cost for a Tier 1 settlement is approximately $300,000. Tier 2 and Tier 3 settlements are significantly more demanding, costing around $2,500,000 and $8,000,000, respectively.

As a settlement owner, you'll receive a free plot to build your own base. You can also collect taxes from other residents who rent plots within your settlement. On top of that, you'll receive a share whenever residents launder money or spend money in Black Market.

The strongest players on the server tend to gather in Highlands before the next confiscation takes place. In other words, this is where the real criminal masterminds belong.

Your ownership of settlements and plots only lasts until the next server wipe. No player or clan can take them away from you before the reset, but once the cycle ends, everyone has to start over.

Getting Out of Prison

After a wipe, you'll wake up inside a prison cell. The only way out is to escape. Look for a toilet in your cell (some cells may also have other interactive objects, such as posters) and interact with it. This will immediately bring up the state and server selection screen.

Choose the state you want to enter and confirm your selection. You'll successfully escape prison and enter a fresh server to start playing again.

Once you're out, you'll start from scratch as a homeless character at Lenny's Motel, where you'll need to build your wealth all over again.

If you want to switch servers voluntarily while playing, you can select Surrender to Feds through Global Map or Settings menu. This will confiscate all your current assets and send you back to prison. You can then repeat the toilet escape process described above to select a different server.

ROB RUN's Federal Raid doesn't mean you lose absolutely everything, and starting over is relatively quick. However, some players feel that weekly wipes are too frequent and that changing the reset schedule to once every two weeks would be a better approach.

Diablo 4 Season 16 faces considerable competitive pressure: GTA 6 will attract a large number of players, and PoE 2 is about to become a free-to-play title. For an ARPG that relies on season updates to attract returning players, Season 16 needs to offer sufficiently attractive new content to have a chance of success.

Judging from 3.3.0 PTR, Blizzard seems to prefer improving the experience by increasing map clearing options and reward choices, rather than introducing disruptive gameplay. This direction is commendable, but simply increasing map clearing freedom is clearly not enough to keep players engaged.

PTR improves player choice, but it's not enough

One of the most obvious changes in 3.3.0 PTR is the restructuring of War Plans. Players can increase the probability of certain events and rewards appearing through the War Plans Tactics node, allowing them to target specific D4 items. Marks of Wisdom earned after completing War Plans can be used to reset nodes and adjust farming routes.

Additionally, the season-exclusive Tyrael's Boons offer four enhancement paths:

• Curious Addition: Modifies Purveyor of Curiosities
• Merchant of Mystery: Adds a merchant who trades cached items using Forgotten Souls
• Scent of Gold: Improves the efficiency of obtaining gold, experience, gems, and Horadric Cube materials
• Trash for Treasure: Reduces conversion costs, increases Obducite and Scrolls of Restoration output, and ultimately unlocks Greater Temper

These changes do give players more flexibility in choosing what to farm and what rewards to obtain, reducing the randomness in resource acquisition. However, they primarily optimize the efficiency of existing gameplay and do not fundamentally change the endgame experience.

Helltide's Aberrant Cinders no longer reset between events, and their event timings are more regular, which is also a QoL optimization. While these adjustments are commendable, they are not enough to justify players staying in Season 16 long-term.

Class balance and build diversity remain core issues

PTR 3.3.0 made adjustments to all eight classes in Diablo 4, but the magnitude and direction of these adjustments varied significantly, with community feedback focusing on a few key classes.

Paladin: Iconic Skills Still Lack Competitiveness

Paladin received several adjustments, including an increase in Zealot Oath's damage bonus from 35% to 45%, an additional 15% Damage Reduction at full Fervor, and Aura Potency now being calculated based on the full Aura value, including Skill Ranks.

However, players still have considerable doubts about the performance of skills like Zeal and Blessed Hammer. Some feedback suggests that the current buffs are insufficient for these builds to compete with mainstream builds in high-level Pit. Paladin needs more than just minor numerical adjustments; it requires a more reasonable damage scaling mechanism and skill synergy.

Necromancer: Numerical buffs don't equate to gameplay breakthroughs

Necromancer's Bone Spear and Blood Lance damage has been increased from 160% to 175%, and Blood Surge's Nova damage has been increased from 125% to 140%. Blood Orbs also begin to provide healing to Minions.

These changes improve the performance of some skills, but overall they are still primarily numerical adjustments. The performance of summoner builds, Minion survivability, and competitiveness between different builds haven't seen significant breakthroughs.

Spiritborn: Buffs focused on specific skills

Spiritborn's Razor Wings damage has been increased from 120% to 160% and gained a new charging mechanism; however, Stinger damage has been reduced from 140% to 125%. This means that some builds have gained new development space, but the overall gameplay diversity of the class hasn't improved significantly.

Sorcerer: Controversial Mechanism Adjustments

The Incinerate Sorcerer build is one of the most controversial builds in PTR. The new Intensity mechanic allows channeled Incinerate stacks to provide a maximum of 100% independent multiplier, with a brief retention after reaching full stacks. Flamescar has also been reworked to deal damage to surrounding enemies when at full Intensity.

The aim is to transform stationary channeling into a rhythmic burst window, but PTR feedback points in the opposite direction: the inability to move during channeling makes survival extremely difficult in high-pressure situations; the reworked Flamescar is criticized for lacking impact and even making the skill feel weaker than before.

When a build's core output requires players to remain stationary amidst increasingly dense AoE and knockback, and the compensation it receives is insufficient to cover this risk, it's difficult for it to transition from a niche playstyle to a worthwhile option.

Class balance doesn't mean every skill has to be Tier 1, but at least more iconic skills should have a place in endgame gameplay. Players don't want each season to revolve around a few dominant builds; they want the freedom to experiment with different combinations and push their preferred playstyles to higher Pit levels.

Gear progression remains limited by randomness

Diablo 4 Season 16 introduced Horadric Items, bringing more possibilities to builds. Horadric rings and amulets can add 1 set bonus count to a specified Talisman Set, allowing players to activate set effects with fewer charms.

Horadric weapons and armor can provide additional affixes after activating the corresponding set bonus, further enhancing damage, skill levels, defense, or movement speed.

This mechanism creates space for dual-set builds, but gear completion is still limited by multiple random factors. Players not only need to obtain the correct Horadric Items but also match the additional affixes to their Talisman Set and maximize useful Greater Affix and ideal stats.

With as many as 45 set types, even if Horadric Items drop, they may be unusable for the current build due to incorrect affix bindings.

The situation of Mythic Uniques also deserves re-evaluation. Some Iconic Mythic Uniques have lost their competitiveness commensurate with their rarity under the current gear structure.

If Season 16 aims to provide players with more worthwhile endgame gear during builds, then restoring mechanics or stats commensurate with these items' status is more meaningful than simply maintaining their drop rarity.

Other noteworthy experience optimizations

Besides class balance and gear progression, there are a few details in D4 Season 16 that deserve improvement.

• Add Death Summary: Display the main damage sources and percentages after a player dies, helping players identify defensive weaknesses instead of relying solely on guesswork to adjust their build.
• Adjust Glyph progression curve: While Glyphs can reach level 150, high-level progression is not friendly enough for non-meta builds. The basic progression threshold could be lowered appropriately, leaving more challenging content to gameplay modes like The Tower.
• Optimizing the team reward system: Wirt's Lucky Coin requires each player to hold a coin to unlock corresponding rewards, increasing the barrier to entry for team cooperation and community rotation. Relaxing this restriction appropriately will help encourage multiplayer participation.

These changes may not be the main selling point of the new season, but they can reduce frustration in long-term gameplay. For Diablo 4, which hopes to retain veteran players, refining these details may be just as important as classes and equipment.

As the release date for GTA 6 draws near, and with much of its gameplay already revealed through actual demonstrations, you may find yourself increasingly focused on its performance on consoles.

Currently, the game is confirmed to launch on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X/S. According to the latest leaks, GTA 6 will run at a maximum of 30 FPS on these devices.

For a major title that has been in development for over a decade and is highly anticipated by players worldwide, this comes as quite a surprise.

While 30 FPS has not yet been rendered obsolete, the standard for console gaming, as accepted by players over the last year or two, has largely shifted toward 60 FPS.

So why has GTA 6 opted for 30 FPS? And will the game see future iterations, much like its predecessor, GTA 5, that introduce new versions? We will explore this from several angles.

The uniqueness of PS5 Pro

First, it is important to clarify that regardless of the platform, the developers are targeting 30 FPS; they have not explicitly guaranteed that the game will remain locked at 30 FPS at all times.

In other words, the development team is using this figure as a performance benchmark, but the game may not necessarily maintain a perfectly stable 30 FPS during actual gameplay.

Although PS5 Pro, which launched later than the standard PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, does not feature a higher official frame rate target, it does offer two additional graphical enhancements: PSSR and ray-traced shadows.

PSSR utilizes AI-assisted image processing to improve visual clarity, allowing for more refined imagery without placing an excessive burden on the hardware.

For an open-world game like GTA 6, which is packed with intricate details, PSSR helps enhance visual fidelity, particularly when rendering objects at a distance.

However, if you are the type of player who prioritizes fluid gameplay, the trade-off, sacrificing a higher frame rate for better visuals, might not be what you were hoping for.

Why is it difficult for GTA 6 to achieve a higher FPS?

If you judge solely by hardware performance, it might be difficult to understand why Grand Theft Auto VI, a game with such an extensive development cycle, is capped at 30 FPS. In reality, the technical challenges the game faces are far more complex than they might appear.

First, as an open-world title with immense scale and high environmental density, Grand Theft Auto VI inevitably places a significant load on a console's CPU.

GTA series has always prioritized player freedom within an open world. This means the hardware must not only render the visuals in real-time but also manage a vast array of background processes.

Furthermore, the pursuit of a highly authentic game world likely adds even more strain on the hardware; whether in a bustling city street or a remote suburb, the environment requires a rich level of visual detail.

Even if you are using a PS5 Pro, which boasts superior graphical processing power, the impact on frame rate will be limited if the game's primary performance bottleneck lies with the CPU.

Consequently, the decision to target 30 FPS in GTA VI is likely a strategic choice: a way to preserve the complexity and visual fidelity of the open world within the constraints of console hardware.

A lack of options is also an issue

Beyond the perception that 30 FPS is too low, player frustration also stems from the fact that the development team has locked the game's visual quality and performance settings, offering no alternatives to suit different player needs.

For instance, if you are a casual player focused primarily on the narrative and exploring the open world, 30 FPS might be perfectly acceptable.

However, for players who enjoy high-speed driving or intense shootouts, activities that often involve rapid camera movement, a frame rate of at least 60 FPS is generally expected for a satisfying experience.

In GTA VI, driving is a core component of the gameplay, whether you're racing a sports car through Vice City or engaging in a high-stakes chase with the police.

In such scenarios, a higher frame rate not only ensures smoother motion but also allows for quicker reactions to environmental changes. A low frame rate, by contrast, can negatively impact the experience.

Version iterations create pressure for players

Although its predecessor, GTA V, first launched in 2013, it saw four subsequent iterations released at various points over the following decade.

These new versions didn't necessarily expand or optimize the game's content or core gameplay; instead, they focused on performance enhancements. For instance, Expanded & Enhanced edition released in 2022 highlighted features like 4K resolution and support for up to 60 FPS.

Given that GTA VI is set to launch with a 30 FPS cap, it's hard not to wonder if the same pattern will repeat: while higher performance is certainly appealing, constant updates can be quite hard on your wallet!

If you've been keeping an eye on GTA VI community lately, you might have noticed many players saying they won't rush to play it at launch, opting instead to wait for a PC release or a future, enhanced version.

Interestingly, some have pointed out that if any other game were limited to 30 FPS in 2026, it would likely face severe backlash; yet, when it comes to GTA VI, the community seems far more forgiving.

This may be because many fans, driven by high expectations, have already pre-ordered the game. Admitting disappointment this early on is, understandably, a difficult pill to swallow.

Ultimately, a 30 FPS cap might be less than ideal, but we'll have to wait until GTA VI officially launches and players put it to the test before we can reach a definitive verdict.

While the frame rate only dictates how smoothly the game runs, if you want to make rapid progress, unlocking resources and features quickly, you can buy cheap GTA 6 cash!

Having plenty of money allows you to skip the tedious early-game grind, letting you instantly acquire the vehicles, weapons, or cosmetic items you desire, and giving you a clear edge!

World of Warcraft: Forever has introduced an important restriction on racial mount purchases: all mounts bought from racial vendors are now Bind-on-Pickup (BoP). 

Listed in Blizzard's November 10, 2026, hotfix notes, this change means that once a player purchases one of these mounts, it becomes bound to their character and can no longer be transferred to another player. While this adjustment does not change how mounts function, it removes an additional layer of flexibility from mount purchases and makes it more important to choose the right character before spending gold.

What Changed in the November 10 Hotfix?

Blizzard officially confirmed the adjustment in its WoW: Forever Hotfixes – November 10, 2026 announcement.

Under the updated rule, all racial mounts purchased from vendors are now Bind-on-Pickup. Previously, players could acquire eligible vendor mounts and pass them to other players. With the new restriction, that transfer option is no longer available once a mount is purchased.

The key details are straightforward:

• Affected items: All racial mounts purchased from vendors.
• New binding rule: Bind-on-Pickup.
• Binding timing: When the mount is acquired.
• Trading restrictions: Players cannot pass the purchased mount to another player.

Importantly, Blizzard's announcement specifically identifies racial vendor mounts. It does not state that every mount in WoW Forever has received the same restriction, so players should not assume that quest rewards, dungeon drops, or other mount sources are affected.

This is an item-binding adjustment rather than a change to mount abilities or movement mechanics. The announcement does not introduce new riding requirements or modify the functionality of the mounts themselves.

Why Does Bind-on-Pickup Change Matter?

At first glance, making racial mounts BoP might seem like a relatively minor adjustment. After all, players can still visit the relevant vendors and purchase the mounts they want. However, the restriction changes how players can organize purchases, particularly those who manage multiple characters or enjoy collecting mounts across different races.

1. Players Must Buy Mounts on the Correct Character

One of the most noticeable consequences is that players can no longer use one character to purchase a racial mount and then transfer it to another player.

Previously, the ability to transfer eligible mounts provided an additional degree of convenience. For example, a player could potentially arrange a purchase through another character or coordinate with a friend who had access to a particular vendor. The new BoP rule removes that option.

Players who are planning to expand their mount collections should therefore check which character they are using before making a purchase. A mount acquired on the wrong character can no longer simply be handed over to someone else.

This is particularly relevant to players who maintain several characters for different activities. Instead of treating mount purchases as interchangeable inventory transactions, they now need to consider each character's individual collection.

2. Mount Purchases Require More Careful Gold Planning

The restriction also has implications for how players manage their gold.

In WoW Forever, gold is an important resource for character progression. Players need to balance mount purchases against other expenses, including equipment upgrades, consumables, profession materials, training, and other gameplay necessities.

With racial vendor mounts now bound upon acquisition, players have less flexibility to correct a purchase made for the wrong character. This makes checking vendor eligibility, mount availability, and the intended recipient particularly important before spending.

For players who want to build their collections without sacrificing too much progression speed, maintaining a reasonable gold reserve is a practical approach. Those who want to accelerate their preparation can also consider ways to obtain additional WoW Forever gold, leaving more room in their budgets for mounts and other character-development expenses.

The important distinction is that the new rule does not make racial mounts harder to purchase directly. Rather, it removes the possibility of transferring an acquired mount to someone else, making the original purchase decision more consequential.

3. Mount Collectors Need to Reconsider Their Purchasing Strategy

Mount collecting often involves more than acquiring a single mount for everyday travel. Players may have several characters, different racial preferences, and long-term collection goals.

For these players, the new restriction introduces a more character-focused approach to collecting. Instead of relying on another player to purchase and transfer a mount, collectors must arrange their purchases around the character that will actually own each item.

It is also worth distinguishing between two separate concepts:

• Mount availability: Whether a player can access and purchase a particular racial mount from its vendor.
• Mount tradability: Whether the purchased item can be transferred after acquisition.

Blizzard's November 10 adjustment explicitly changes the second aspect. Its published notes do not announce a broader overhaul of racial mount availability or riding mechanics.

Consequently, players should not interpret the update as evidence that racial mounts have been removed from vendors or that their riding functionality has changed.

Does the New Rule Affect Every Mount in WoW Forever?

No such conclusion can be drawn from Blizzard's announcement.

The official wording is specific: all racial mounts sold by vendors are now Bind-on-Pickup. It does not say that every mount obtainable through other gameplay systems has become character-bound.

For clarity, the confirmed scope can be summarized as follows:

This distinction matters because item-binding rules can vary depending on how an item is obtained. A change affecting one category should not automatically be applied to unrelated items.

Players should continue checking individual item descriptions and relevant patch notes rather than assuming that every mount follows the same trading restrictions.

What Should Players Do before Buying Their Next Racial Mount?

The safest approach is to treat every racial vendor mount purchase as a character-specific decision.

Before spending gold, players should:

1. Confirm the intended owner: Make sure the character purchasing the mount is the one that should receive it.
2. Check the vendor: Verify that the desired racial mount is available to that character before making the purchase.
3. Plan gold expenses: Avoid spending resources intended for essential equipment, training, or consumables without considering their priority.
4. Review item binding information: Check whether other mounts and collectible items have their own trading restrictions.

These steps are especially useful for players who maintain multiple characters or coordinate collection goals with friends. A little preparation can prevent unnecessary gold expenditure and avoid purchasing an item that cannot be transferred afterward.

Final Thoughts

Blizzard's November 10 hotfix introduces a straightforward but meaningful change to WoW Forever's mount acquisition system. All racial mounts purchased from vendors are now Bind-on-Pickup, removing the ability to transfer these newly acquired mounts to other players.

Although the change does not directly affect mount availability or riding functionality, it makes character selection and purchase planning more important. For collectors and players managing multiple characters, understanding the new restriction before visiting a vendor can help avoid unnecessary mistakes.

For now, the confirmed change is limited to racial vendor mounts. Players should watch future hotfix announcements for any additional adjustments to item binding and trading rules.

CoD Modern Warfare 4 launched the limited-time Wager Match Event on November 11. You can participate in the event across Multiplayer, DMZ, and Warzone.

The event revolves around collecting in-game Trophy tokens, wagering them in 1v1 duels to win more, and eventually exchanging them for weapon attachments, skins, and other rewards.

How To Collect Trophies?

The first part of the event follows a familiar collection-based format. Players earn Trophies (also referred to as tokens) by playing different game modes and then exchange them for event rewards.

DMZ

In DMZ, the main way to earn Trophies is by completing specific event challenges. For example, killing AI enemies can earn you approximately 1 Trophy for every 10 eliminations.

Killing lieutenants or commanders does not grant any additional Trophies. Eliminating real enemy operators also rewards Trophies, but looting items does not.

Multiplayer

In Multiplayer, eliminating real enemy players in any game mode has a chance to drop Trophies.

Bots in Ground War generally do not drop Trophies. If you want to collect them quickly in Multiplayer, smaller-map playlists are a better choice. These include Strand playlist and small maps such as Shipment, Shoothouse, and Transit 213.

Hardcore mode and Matchmaking are not particularly favorable for Trophy farming. You can buy CoD MW4 Bot Lobbies to familiarize yourself with map layouts, but they are not recommended for farming event Trophies.

Warzone

Warzone offers several different options. The first is Rally Point, which is closer to a PvE training ground. Other real players can still knock you down, but there are also neutral areas where you can team up with friends.

In this mode, Trophies appear to come exclusively from looting containers or eliminating real players. Killing AI bots does not seem to drop them. However, Rally Point does not track your collected Trophy count. Other modes usually display an in-game notification showing how many Trophies you have collected during the match.

In Resurgence and Battle Royale, both Casual Warzone and standard Warzone allow you to find Trophies by looting containers and eliminating real players. Killing bots does not reward any Trophies.

How To Redeem Rewards?

Once you unlock any 10 rewards, you can claim Kastov 545 Apex Attachment. Redeem 15 rewards to unlock Vitriol Legendary Operator Skin (Valen).

If your main priority is getting the weapon camo, it is best to focus on saving up 1,000 Trophies before claiming other items. More rewards are also expected to arrive next week, although the exact details remain unknown and may be subject to leaks. These could include weapons promised for Season 1, as well as Legendary items.

How Does Wager System Work?

Direct Wagers in Gauntlet 1v1

Gauntlet 1v1 is the most straightforward wagering mode. The idea is to use your existing Trophies as an entry stake and win more through 1v1 duels.

Before a match begins, you must wager a certain number of Trophies to enter a Gauntlet 1v1 gunfight. You will then face an opponent in a 1v1 battle, and eliminating them secures your victory. The winner stays in the arena to face the next challenger.

However, winning just one match is not enough. You must keep winning consecutive duels to claim the final reward associated with your wager. This makes Gauntlet 1v1 a high-risk, high-reward game mode.

Warzone & DMZ Wager Mechanics

Wagering in these two modes works more like a betting contract. You can exchange Trophies for challenges with specific objectives.

For example, DMZ offers a challenge that costs 10 Trophies. You need to eliminate 50 AI combatants and successfully extract. Completing it rewards 25 Trophies, giving you a net gain of 15 after deducting the initial stake.

However, AI bots have relatively low Trophy drop rates in DMZ, and opening containers does not reward Trophies either. This makes DMZ a poor choice for farming. Still, if you prefer a slower playstyle and naturally eliminate AI enemies while completing other missions, wagering in DMZ may be worth considering.

Multiplayer matches can be too competitive. Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM) makes completing challenges more difficult, and after eliminating an enemy player, you must physically reach their body and collect Trophy. Otherwise, you will not receive it.

DMZ is also inefficient, with roughly 5 to 6 Trophies collected every 20 to 30 minutes. Rally Point is not recommended either, since you still need to eliminate enemies and the chance of finding Trophies in containers is relatively low.

Casual Resurgence is the best option overall. You can collect approximately 50 Trophies per match in this mode, and almost every elimination of a real player or bot can reward a Trophy.

What Happens to Trophies When You Leave a Match Early?

According to player testing and feedback from November 11–12, leaving a MW4 Wager Match before it ends does not immediately add Trophies you have already collected to your event balance. However, they appear to be retained in the background and credited after you finish your next complete match.

That said, the game may handle regular match departures differently from leaving a match with an active wager. If you quit a wagered match, Trophies you staked will not be refunded.

The fastest way to collect Trophies is not necessarily to grind Multiplayer matches. You can certainly earn Trophies by playing Multiplayer, but if you intend to use them for wagering, taking unnecessary risks in modes outside Warzone is not recommended.

If you would rather avoid wagering altogether, you can simply play normally and accumulate Trophies over time. There are still 20 days to gradually unlock the event rewards.

Just about a week after WoW Forever's launch, the official team released its first large-scale class balance adjustments and hotfixes on November 10th. This update not only officially finalized dungeon experience points, eliminating further adjustments, but also drastically changed the leveling performance of several classes.

With class strength and quest gold rewards adjusted simultaneously, players need to reassess their leveling paths and class choices. The first week's version environment is gradually becoming clearer. Which classes will become the new leveling favorites, and which will face challenges after this round of adjustments?

A Complete Overview of Class Leveling After the First Week of Adjustments

The various changes in WoW Forever's first week of launch not only altered the output capabilities of some classes but also reshaped the current leveling efficiency and class choices.

Classes like Hunter and Protection Warrior are showing new advantages, while Shaman and Warlock need to adapt to varying degrees of changes.

Hunter: Hotfix Helps Hunter Become a Leveling Hotspot

In the first week, Hunter's leveling performance was initially below expectations. Theoretically, with its pet's tankiness, low downtime, and ability to solo elites, it should have been among the top-tier leveling enthusiasts. However, the community quickly discovered that Hunter's pet's actual survivability was far from what was expected.

The problem lay in the fact that the pet's health adjustment hadn't been correctly applied. The November 10th hotfix corrected the actual bonus to 15%, instead of the previously mistakenly assumed 50%. Furthermore, the Summon Hawk's melee damage in the Beast Mastery talent was increased by 80%, and the Hawk is less likely to be killed by AoE attacks.

These two adjustments combined to enhance Hunter's sustained damage output and pet survivability. For players with limited playtime who want to level steadily through solo play, Hunter is a highly worthwhile option, maintaining its leading position in solo leveling efficiency assessments during the first week.

Warrior: An Unexpected Rise to Leveling Success

While Hunter's strength was expected, Warrior's resurgence was somewhat surprising. Traditionally, Protection Warrior is a tanking talent build with relatively low damage output during leveling. However, the talent adjustments in WoW Forever have given Protection Warrior a new way to deal damage.

Master of Defense is the core of this build. When equipped with a shield, successfully dodging or parrying grants 5 Rage. Combined with the Rage bonus from Shield Specialization, this allows Warriors to maintain a more stable skill rotation.

Meanwhile, Improved Revenge increases Revenge damage by up to 50%, and Revenge itself is one of the skills with the lowest Rage cost and highest single-hit damage.

Furthermore, Thunder Clap can now be used under Defensive Stance and benefit from Attack Power, meaning Protection Warriors often outdamage pure DPS classes when pulling multiple waves of mobs in dungeons, and are almost never killed.

While this build requires abandoning the traditional two-handed weapon leveling path, Protection Warrior has become a worthwhile option for players seeking stable and efficient leveling.

Paladin and Mage: Hidden Winners Without Significant Changes

While Paladin and Mage didn't receive the same eye-catching buffs as Hunter in the first week, they remain strong choices in the current leveling meta.

Paladin's strength lies in weapon acquisition and overall capabilities. From the early-game Verigan's Fist to the new hammer from the Wetlands excavation site, and weapons like the Corpse Maker and Ravager, there are consistently good gear options throughout the leveling process. Combined with healing, defensive skills, and buffs, Paladin performs consistently well in solo leveling and dungeons.

Mage, on the other hand, is a crucial pillar of AoE mob clearing strategies. Although dungeon experience has been fixed at 60% of Classic Era, Mage's AoE damage capabilities remain unaffected.

Whether clearing mobs in Murloc or multi-wave mobs in dungeons like Scarlet Monastery, Mage significantly improves the team's mob clearing efficiency. Given the relatively small number of Mage players currently, this class is a worthwhile option for those planning to level an alt.

Shaman: From Leveling Hotspot to Major Loser in Adjustments

Enhancement Shaman, which performed strongly in the first week, received a significant nerf on November 10th.

Previously, Stormstrike, with its 150% weapon damage multiplier and 6-second cooldown, combined with the burst effect of Windfury, made Shaman the strongest class in the Dungeon leveling progression from 1-40.

This adjustment reduces Stormstrike's damage multiplier to 100% and increases its cooldown to 8 seconds. Simultaneously, the trigger frequency of Maelstrom Weapon is reduced, and its benefits are readjusted to a 20% reduction in cast time and mana cost per stack.

As compensation, Windfury Weapon and Windfury Totem can now be active simultaneously. However, the core goal of this adjustment is to make Enhancement Shaman more reliant on Windfury, rather than overly building a playstyle around spell power and Intellect.

This means that Shaman's rotation and gear choices will change. While the Windfury Weapon and Windfury Totem offered new DPS possibilities, the increased cooldown of Stormstrike, leading to a change in gameplay feel, still left many players dissatisfied.

Warlock: Buffed, but Leveling Still Awkward

Warlock was one of the classes with the lowest average level in WoW Classic+ during the first week, primarily due to the nerf to pet survivability.

The root of the problem can be traced back to a change on November 3rd: the health pets gained from their owner's stamina was reduced from 7.5 health per point to 2 health.

This was a structural blow to the leveling model that relied on Voidwalkers tanking and Warlocks applying DoTs, forcing many Warlock players to reassess their leveling path during the first week.

The hotfix on November 10th increased the base health of Voidwalkers, Succubus, and Incubus by 15%, improving pet survivability to some extent, but it was still insufficient to compensate for the significant stamina scaling nerf from 7.5 to 2.

Warlock players received another piece of good news - Affliction talent tree, Wrack, has been reworked, allowing DoT damage to be dealt faster within the same duration. However, since Wrack is a deep talent, it hardly contributes to the leveling experience before level 40.

Therefore, for Warlocks still in the 1-40 level range, Demonology remains a relatively smooth leveling path, and whether this buff will truly improve the overall leveling experience remains to be seen.

48-60 Quest Gold Adjustment

Besides class balance, November 10th also saw an easily overlooked but impactful economic adjustment for all leveling players: the developers added extra gold rewards to most level 48 and above quests, including those that previously offered no gold.

This change is related to the removal of the experience-to-gold conversion mechanism after reaching level 60 in WoW Classic Plus. Previously, players could retain completed quests and turn them in at level 60 to gain more gold.

To avoid this disrupting the normal leveling rhythm, the developers removed this mechanism. However, since only about 25% of quests in Classic WoW directly reward gold, the rewards from quests in the level 48-60 range are insufficient.

Now, with higher-level quests offering additional gold rewards, players no longer need to hoard quests for higher gold income after reaching the level cap. Completing quests normally from level 48 onwards not only maintains leveling progress but also allows players to accumulate more gold by level 60.

This gives players a new leveling option: instead of simply repeatedly farming dungeons, combining open-world quests with one-time dungeon quests provides both experience and gold.

However, if you need to prepare additional funds for max-level gear, consumables, or future raids, relying solely on quest rewards will still take a considerable amount of time. Therefore, if you want to replenish your reserves faster, you can also buy WoW Forever gold to meet your needs for character progression and raid preparation.

The next round of adjustments is still worth watching

If you're playing a Hunter or Protection Warrior, the current leveling environment is quite favorable; Enhancement Shaman players will need to adapt to the extended Stormstrike cooldown and reconsider their Windfury gear setup.

As for Warlocks, while the adjustments to pet survivability and the Affliction talent haven't had a significant impact, Demonology still offers a relatively stable leveling path.

The class landscape has begun to take shape in the first week of WoW Forever's launch, but this doesn't mean the current power rankings will remain unchanged. The developers are still monitoring the game environment based on player feedback, and class skills, gear choices, and DPS builds will likely continue to be a focus before the first batch of new raids opens on December 9th.

For players currently leveling, there's no need to overthink the class rankings right now; the more important thing is to determine if the current leveling pace suits your playtime and playstyle.

Path of Exile 3.30 Covens of Umbra brought about the most radical changes to the endgame system in recent years. Atlas Passive Tree is no longer simply about adding or removing nodes from the old framework; it's been completely redesigned from layout and point source to core enhancement tools.

Scarabs have been replaced by Threads, the passive point cap has increased from 138 to 150, and the passive clusters for League Mechanics have undergone a major overhaul. This means that map planning in 3.30 needs to be based on a re-understanding of how Atlas are activated and amplified.

Atlas Passive Tree Has Been Completely Redesigned

The most obvious change in PoE 3.30 Atlas Passive Tree is the complete redesign of its structure. The old version allowed players to enter from multiple peripheral entrances and then allocate passives around different areas and league mechanics; the new version, however, uniformly starts from the center of the passive tree and gradually expands outwards.

The new passive tree adopts a "core-mechanism-specific enhancement" layout. The central area provides general map bonuses, extending outwards to primary and secondary league mechanics, while the outer perimeter features more targeted enhancement nodes.

At the same time, the previously straightforward passive path has been replaced by multiple branches, making it difficult for players to simultaneously acquire high-value notables from multiple mechanics through a single short route. To enhance a specific playstyle, players need to explicitly choose the corresponding direction and invest passive points, rather than incidentally acquiring benefits from other mechanics as before.

For players hoping to quickly accumulate PoE currency in the new league, these changes will directly impact Atlas passive configurations and the selection of high-yield map clearing strategies.

Atlas Passive Points Increased to 150

Atlas point cap has been increased from 138 to 150. While the additional 12 points may seem like a small change, combined with adjustments to the boss reward structure, its impact on passive configuration is far greater than the numerical value itself.

The key change is the doubling of point rewards for Pinnacle bosses and Invitations. Defeating Maven, Searing Exarch, Eater of Worlds, and completing Maven's six special Invitations now each grants 2 Atlas Passive Points instead of the previous 1; Uber Elder grants 4 points in one go.

This means the unlocking pace of passive points is compressed: points that previously required multiple boss kills to accumulate can now be obtained in fewer battle rounds. For the league progression, the complete Atlas tree will arrive sooner than before, thus advancing the window for developing mid-game strategies.

Meanwhile, the acquisition method for Atlas Respec points has also been adjusted along with the boss rewards. Defeating the aforementioned bosses grants both passive points and respec points, allowing players more flexibility in the early stages of PoE 3.30 to experiment without incurring excessive route lock costs due to a single mis click.

League Mechanics Passive Clusters Undergo Complete Overhaul

PoE 3.30 reclassifies and redesigns Atlas passive clusters for League Mechanics, primarily dividing them into primary mechanics, secondary mechanics, and general enhancement directions.

Among them, the passive clusters for the following ten primary mechanics have been completely reworked:

1. Abyss
2. Bestiary
3. Betrayal
4. Blight
5. Breach
6. Expedition
7. Incursion
8. Legion
9. Ritual
10. Ultimatum

Since these also correspond to ten Thread types, the relevant passives are no longer limited to increasing the probability of mechanic occurrence but also serve to further enhance the benefits of Thread.

Secondary passive clusters cover Essence, Harvest, Mercenaries, Shrines, Strongboxes, as well as Rare Monsters, Divination Cards, Gold, and Maps.

Another significant change is the removal of the exclusive passive clusters for Delve and Heist. This doesn't mean the two playstyles are eliminated, but rather that players can no longer obtain their original exclusive enhancements through Atlas Passive Tree. The previous Delve and Heist farming strategy, which relied on both passive clusters and Scarabs for double benefits, has thus lost its original enhancement path.

Threads Take Over Map Enhancement

With the removal of Scarabs, Threads become the primary tool for players to actively enhance map mechanics. Players need to place the corresponding type of Thread in the map device to activate the corresponding league mechanics within that area.

At the same time, Atlas Passive Tree and Shaped Region system have also been reworked. Atlas initially has 10 Shaped Regions, each corresponding to a different Thread type. Maps within a region can gain corresponding Thread effects for free. Completing regional objectives also adds free Threads to other maps within that region.

Therefore, Threads are no longer just independent map enhancement items, but are tightly integrated with the Atlas's regional structure. The shaped region a player chooses to farm determines which basic mechanic benefits they can obtain.

Furthermore, many effects previously provided by Scarabs have been integrated into Core Atlas Passive Tree. Players need to allocate passive points to obtain these bonuses, no longer relying on Scarabs to stack map effects.

Keystone Additions, Removals, and Adjustments

The newly added Phantom Anomalies change the trigger condition for Atlas anomalies from completing a normal map to completing a Shaped Region, and allow anomalies to spawn from any Quadrant, making it more closely linked to the region progression mechanic.

Meanwhile, the following six old Keystones have been removed:

1. Crop Rotation
2. Endless Tide
3. Lucid Dreams
4. Meticulous Appraiser
5. Refiner's Bargain
6. Synthesised Stability

Among the retained Keystones, Speaker of the Dead has been enhanced: the maximum number of touchable normal and magic monsters has increased from 40 to 50, and the duration of Tormented Spirits' possession of the player has been extended from 20 seconds to 30 seconds.

Furthermore, Dimensional Foothold and Enemy at the Gates have been changed to multiple-choice passives, no longer retaining their original fixed Keystone format, allowing players to choose the corresponding effects based on their passive build.

Impact on 3.30 Mapping Strategies

Atlas passive point cap has increased from 138 to 150, coupled with increased rewards from multiple bosses and Invitations, allowing players to invest more in key mechanics and general nodes within a single passive build.

However, the new passive tree uses a radial structure, and investing in cross-mechanism aspects still requires additional path costs. Therefore, focusing on strengthening one main direction remains a more effective choice.

The addition of Threads also changes how map rewards are planned. Players need to consider not only the map itself but also the free Thread effects provided by Shaped Regions and the mechanic enhancements in Atlas passive tree to choose suitable farming routes.

Since Scarab strategy from 3.29 cannot be directly applied, the initial phase of Path of Exile 3.30 is more suitable for testing the benefits of different Threads and league mechanics before deciding on the direction of passive point investment.

In Aion 2, pets are more than just companions or cosmetic accessories; they provide tangible benefits, such as serving as mounts (with some even unlocking gliding capabilities) and granting stat bonuses as they level up.

Beyond strengthening individual pets, Aion 2 features Genus Insight system. This system allows you to enhance entire groups of pets based on their specific genus (category).

Naturally, utilizing Genus Insight requires an investment of resources. This guide will help you maximize the returns on the resources you consume.

Genus Insight mechanics breakdown

All pets in Aion 2 are classified into five distinct genera: Cogni, Fera, Natura, Varian, and Special. Each genus can be upgraded independently within Genus Insight system, up to a maximum of Level 10.

Each genus offers different stat bonuses; for instance, Cogni category focuses on HP, Critical Hit, and Might, while Fera category emphasizes Accuracy and Dexterity.

Genus Insight interface for each category contains 9 slots, with one slot unlocking for every level gained. Reaching Level 10 increases the probability of obtaining high-quality stats through these slots.

For each slot, you can use Genus Analysis feature to roll for stats. This generates a bonus with a randomized rarity, drawn from a pool of stats appropriate for that specific genus.

If you are not satisfied with the results, you can consume Aion 2 Kina and Soul Crystals to reroll all currently unlocked slots.

Notably, if you obtain a desired result in a specific slot, you can lock it; however, doing so will increase the resource cost for subsequent rerolls.

Increasing board levels

To level up any type of Genus Insight board, you need to earn specific XP. This XP can be obtained through the following three sources:

• Collecting pets belonging to a specific Genus: 500 XP
• Reaching Pet Insight levels 2 and 3: 250 XP
• Performing a Genus Analysis: 100 XP

Therefore, even if you perform multiple analyses without getting the desired stat bonuses, the time and Kina you invested are not entirely wasted, as they contribute to your board's level progression.

As for acquiring Aion 2 pets and increasing their specific Insight (level), the primary method is to repeatedly farm the monsters associated with those pets to collect enough Pet Souls. Additionally, some pets can be obtained by participating in special events or through shop transactions.

Stat reroll strategy

Assuming you have unlocked all slots, focus primarily on Max Attack or Attack Bonus for slots 1 and 5 on any Genus Insight board. You can use the auto analysis feature to verify which specific slots correspond to these stats.

Regardless of the board type, slots 1 and 5 are always dedicated to attack-related stats.

Pay special attention to slot 4, as its focus varies depending on the board type, for instance, it may provide Double Chance on a Special board, or a Damage Bonus on a Varian board.

When rerolling, prioritize your slots based on their specific focus; remember that locking a slot increases the cost of subsequent rerolls. Rerolling in a specific order helps minimize your total investment.

Generally, it is recommended to reroll slots 1 and 5 simultaneously. In the early game, Attack Bonus is usually the better choice, whereas Max Attack is superior for maximizing stats in the endgame.

If you are new to Genus Insight system, look to include other useful attack-oriented stats. Ideally, you should aim to unlock at least one multiplicative bonus.

You can start by using the auto analysis feature; if you get a desirable result, lock it immediately. Given the wide range of possible outcomes, you usually won't need to reroll too many times to achieve a satisfactory result.

However, once you have locked in more slots, you can switch to manual analysis, checking the specific stats that have rolled, so you can stop at the right moment and avoid wasting excessive resources.

Of course, you could also perform multiple rolls at once; you might get lucky and land maximum-value stats, but only if you are truly committed to pursuing the absolute best possible numbers.

Ultimately, your reroll strategy comes down to your own priorities. If your goal is simply to maximize damage output, you don't need to worry about survivability or HP bonuses.

It's also worth noting that if you want to conserve as many resources as possible, it is best to focus specifically on Attack bonuses or increasing your Attack cap.

Furthermore, in the final stages, especially if your resources are limited, you don't necessarily need to reroll every remaining stat slot, as the marginal gains might not provide any meaningful improvement to your character.

Finally, a word of caution: don't fixate on improving just one stat at a time, even if that stat is the most important one. The best approach is to prioritize your core stats while balancing them with others, refining your setup step-by-step to achieve the optimal result.

Summary

The mechanics of Aion 2 Genus Insight are straightforward, but the reroll process is a resource-intensive endeavor that requires frequent repetition. This makes the daily accumulation of Kina and Soul Crystals essential.

If you stay consistent, however, you will eventually be able to build a robust set of stats, allowing your pet to provide a significant boost to your character!

WARDOGS Season 3 officially arrives on November 12th. Some players have expressed concern, fearing that the update will require significant time and effort to adapt to new content and a shifting environment. In this article, I will break down the update and explain why Season 3 is actually a major win for casual players.

Easing Burden with a New Mode

For those who play WARDOGS primarily for fun, the most frustrating issue is often the gear gap. When other players possess powerful, high-tier equipment while you—due to your own progression pace—lack the means to counter them, the experience suffers. Essentially, the presence of hardcore players can diminish the enjoyment for those just looking to play casually. To address this disparity, the developers are introducing a new mode in Season 3: Limited Mode.

An Introduction to Limited Mode

In this mode, many pieces of equipment and weaponry are restricted, shifting the focus back to fundamental tactical gameplay.

Limited Mode emphasizes fast-paced, close-quarters combat. According to the developers, the goal is to create a fair and balanced environment—reminiscent of the early days of WARDOGS—by minimizing the massive power imbalances caused by high-end gear.

Restricted Gear

You might be wondering: which items are banned in WARDOGS Limited Mode? While the developers have not released an exhaustive list, community testing has confirmed that several powerful, commonly used items have been removed. Here are the key items you should be aware of:

• M4
• AMR50
• MGL40
• HP Ammo

The removal of these items is a significant development for casual players. First, this helps prevent match losses caused by a significant disparity in weaponry between opposing sides.

M4—widely considered the best assault rifle in the game—is often out of reach for many players initially, as it requires a substantial amount of Wardogs money. In this mode, however, it is completely unavailable to everyone.

Furthermore, you no longer have to worry about having your armor instantly shredded the moment you step out from cover, as AMR50 does not appear in this mode. You also won't have to deal with enemies harassing you from helicopters using MGL40—a frustrating tactic all too common in standard matches.

Many casual players have a habit of using HP (hollow-point) ammo to target an opponent's feet. The reason is simple: since many enemies wear heavy armor, it's impossible to deal direct damage without AP (armor-piercing) rounds.

In this new mode, however, HP ammo has been removed, effectively disabling this common tactic. To maintain balance, Level 3 and 4 helmets, as well as Level 4 body armor, have also been removed from the loot pool. I believe this change is intended to encourage players to adopt standard aiming strategies, rather than resorting to targeting unconventional, less-protected areas.

Expanded Unlock Paths for Items

In WARDOGS, the unlock paths for many desirable items are quite complex; often, you are forced to take on roles within your squad that you'd rather avoid just to meet specific objectives. For casual players with limited playtime, being compelled to engage in gameplay they don't actually enjoy is a major pain point.

A prime example is Pilot role: if you want to unlock the Little Bird helicopter or 308 Win armor-piercing rounds for other aircraft, you are essentially forced to play other roles to unlock these items one by one.

Addressing this, the developers mentioned in Season 3 update that they plan to expand the range of unlockable items available for each class in the near future. Looking at the long-term roadmap, the developers intend to introduce a new system that allows players to unlock desired items without being forced to follow a linear progression path.

Take 308 Win Armor Piercing ammo as an example: instead of being restricted to unlocking it via Wardog progression line at level 140, you can now also unlock it through Pilot progression line at level 40.

This gives casual players more flexibility, ensuring they aren't locked into a single path that might otherwise force them to engage with content they don't actually enjoy.

New Map: Sabatulo

At the heart of the new map, Sabatulo, lies a large hospital. One side of map features a dense cluster of buildings, while the other consists of wooded, sloping terrain with depressions in the landscape.

This combination of terrain types—a first for WARDOGS—is designed to add greater variety to the gameplay. I suspect this map will become a sniper's paradise; there is plenty of cover, and the varied topography makes it easy to remain hidden from enemies.

Best of all, everyone starts on equal footing on this new map, as all players must explore it for the first time together. This not only keeps the experience fresh but also helps bridge the gap between veteran players and newcomers—especially since the existing maps are already well-known to long-time players.

Anti-Cheat System

If you've caught the latest official blog post, you're likely aware of the extensive efforts the team has put into anti-cheat measures.

Leading up to this update, 5% of WARDOGS player base was banned by the system. For the rest of the community, this translates to a healthier gaming environment and fairer matches.

The fact that the developers are being transparent about this data suggests a long-term commitment to maintaining these standards. I'm confident that WARDOGS Season 3 experience will be even more enjoyable.

All in all, WARDOGS Season 3 update is excellent. The developers have clearly recognized the importance of the casual player experience and have packed the game with plenty of engaging new content. If you're curious about the new season, why not jump into the game and see for yourself?

As Season 2 enters its second half, FC 27 Ultimate Team is about to launch a brand new event themed around classic players – Hall of FUT: Unleashed.

This event is expected to bring a batch of player upgrade cards beloved by FUT players, including Hulk, Theo Walcott, Alexandre Pato, and Antonio Valencia, and may also introduce new SBC and Objectives rewards.

Hall of FUT: Unleashed Release Date

Hall of FUT: Unleashed will launch on November 13th at 6pm UK / 10am PT / 18:00 UTC. It directly replaces the Road to the Knockouts packs that leave the day, becoming the last regular campaign in Season 2 before Black Friday: Thunderstruck.

This timing has been cross-checked within the game. Unleashed stage of FC Heritage Circuit was already open during Season 2, RTTK ran as planned for a week, and Ultimate Scream Token Store closed before 18:00 UTC on the 13th, making room for the entire Friday slot for the promo switch.

Hall of FUT: Unleashed pack window is expected to last a week, before handing over to Black Friday: Thunderstruck on November 27th to conclude Season 2.

Hall of FUT: Unleashed Player Roster

Unleashed does not introduce new Hall of FUT members; the player pool consists of the 21 existing Hall of FUT players in Gallery Token Store:

The campaign version will upgrade the base OVR and also provide Chemistry, Roles++, and Holographics (OVR 88 and above).

It's worth noting that not all 21 Unleashed cards will be included in the pack. Alessandro Florenzi will be available as an SBC reward, while Aiden McGeady will be obtained through Objectives.

Players to Watch

Among Hall of FUT: Unleashed players, Hulk, Theo Walcott, and Alexandre Pato are three cards to watch.

Their positions and playing styles differ, catering to the offensive needs of various lineups. If you need a particular type of offensive player but have limited resources, you can choose to use FC 27 coins for sale to prepare for acquiring your desired player during the event.

Hulk

Hulk is a center forward to watch in this event. He boasts 92 PAC, 90 SHO, 90 DRI, and 90 PHY, balancing speed, shooting, dribbling, and physical strength.

Leaked information indicates he will receive Low Driven Shot+, further enhancing his low-drive shooting ability within the penalty area. Combined with the new Roles++ in Unleashed version, he is expected to become a powerful striker in FC 27, suitable for both direct attacks and finishing in the penalty area.

Theo Walcott

Theo Walcott's greatest strength is his speed; 98 PAC and 90 DRI give him excellent wing play.

His Finesse Shot+ compensates for some limitations in finishing methods, allowing him to not only use his speed to attack the defense but also finish with curling shots. However, his 70 PHY means he still needs to avoid physical confrontations as much as possible.

Alexandre Pato

Alexandre Pato is more suitable for players who prefer a more agile striker. His 92 PAC, 88 SHO, and 89 DRI give him good performance in positioning, ball movement, and shooting, while his Low Driven Shot+ rating makes him suitable for quickly finishing in the penalty area.

If Roles++ further enhances his center-forward role, he could become a practical attacking option.

Preparing for Hall of FUT: Unleashed

Since this event is expected to include Packs, SBCs, and Objectives rewards, players can plan their Gallery Token usage, club resource reserves, and transfer market budget in advance before Hall of FUT: Unleashed officially launches.

The Use of Gallery Tokens

The most important decision before Unleashed launches is still when to use Gallery Tokens. The current base Hall of FUT card's Token Store listing continues until December 3rd at 07:59 UTC, but this does not mean that Gallery Tokens will expire on that day.

It has been officially confirmed that the base Hall of FUT will be available throughout FIFA 27 via Token Store, therefore the current store expiration date should be considered a reward rotation point.

Gallery Tokens can be held across weeks and currently have no weekly cap. Therefore, unless a player can immediately fill a gap in your starting lineup, it's safer to wait until Unleashed player rosters, SBC, and Objectives rewards are fully revealed before deciding how to spend your tokens.

Market and SBC Budget

After the event goes live on Friday, with many players opening packs, some non-promo players, especially regular meta cards, may face a short-term price drop. Meanwhile, Unleashed SBC structure - which includes at least one confirmed SBC card, Florenzi - means that player demand for Fodder will be released in a concentrated manner.

Therefore, it is recommended that players reserve some coins and club inventory in advance and avoid blindly chasing the 84–85 OVR fodder on Thursday evening. Once the specific rating requirements and rewards for SBC are announced, decide whether to supplement materials based on actual costs.

For Unleashed players obtainable through packs, the first night of the event may not be the best time to buy. As cards continue to enter the market throughout the promo week, the supply of popular players like Walcott, Valencia, and Hulk may gradually increase, and prices will readjust according to market demand.

If there is no immediate need to strengthen your lineup, wait until Sunday or Monday to observe the market and find a more suitable entry price.

FC 27's Hall of FUT: Unleashed not only provides players with the opportunity to obtain classic player enhancement cards but also makes lineup adjustments and resource management more important. Facing limited-time card pools, Gallery Tokens exchanges, and SBC challenges, determining which rewards are worth investing in will directly impact a player's returns during this event.
