New COD Warzone patch nerfs Krig 6, buffs CX-9

Heading into Call of DUty Warzone Season 5, the game has gone through changes aimed at balancing the firearms. The nerfed Krig 6 and the buffed CX-9 will look to bring down the gap that lies between weapons.

Being a week away from Season 5, the game has addressed the Krig 6 meta that was growing among the players for quite some time and it wasn’t until today that the gun sees a major nerf. The last 7 days of Season 4 come with buffed CX-9 after the new SMG fell out of flavour. The developers hope that the minor improvements will be enough for players to find a reason to use it.

Despite certain changes across the game in general, what the community has been longing for is an upgraded anti-cheat that will keep the hackers at bay given how at this point every prominent streamer has spoken about their experience coming across cheaters in Warzone.

How to fix Back 4 Blood beta “failed to create matchmaking session” error

How to fix Back 4 Blood beta “failed to create matchmaking session” error

The highly anticipated Back 4 Blood beta is here but players have reported the “failed to create matchmaking session” error that is keeping them away from the game.

Players have hopped onto the Back 4 Blood beta after punching in their access keys but their expectations from the game are yet to be answered given how the game is failing to create a matchmaking session despite proper connectivity.

As annoying as the error is, here comes a simple fix that will remedy the issue as long as it persists from the developer’s end. It was found that the issue arose from the conflicting versions of the game if the specific steam account had already owned previous iterations of the pre-release build.

The error was limited to the PC version distributed via Steam which helped narrow down the solution.

  1. Head over to your Steam Game Library.
  2. Look for Back 4 Blood.
  3. Having played older versions of the game, your library will likely own two differt version with the names “Back 4 Blood and Back 4 Blood “Sneak Peek””
  4. Back 4 Blood “Sneak Peek” is the way to go.

“Back 4 Blood” is an older alpha that was never removed which conflicted with the latest version of the beta. Removing the older version clears the path for the latest beta to connect with the game servers and create a matchmaking session.

How to get Medic Medal in COD Mobile?

Activision has inculcated a unique medal system in Call of Duty Mobile where players can earn various medals for their achievements. These can be showcased on the main profile or could be used to complete various tasks. A recently featured event in COD Mobile requires players to earn Medic Medal and here is how you can do it.

The medal system in COD Mobile is a special way to identify or characterize a player’s in-game playstyle. Most of these awards are distributed after completing a certain task only.

The developers keep adding various events in COD Mobile and assign certain tasks to it. Players can complete them to earn various rewards ranging from small goodies to permanent camos and equipment. Some of these tasks need players to earn that specific medal.

If you are looking to earn Medic Medal in COD Mobile, you need to play BR matches and keep healing. The medal is awarded to players who recover a total of 200 HP in a single match.

Drop into any BR map and play the match normally but keep in mind that you will have to use health packages at least twice to pass the 200 HP mark. After that, finish your match and the medal will be directly awarded.

Dynamo Gaming’s BGMI account banned in Russia

Dynamo Gaming, one of the biggest gaming content creators has faced a ban in Battlegrounds Mobile India for trying to log into the game in a different country. Dynamo went on a vacation in Russia and tried to access BGMI from his hotel Wi-Fi connection but due to a regional change, his account was banned.

Dynamo is a massive PUBG Mobile content creator who shifted to other games during the ban and has now started practicing and streaming Battlegrounds Mobile India. He recently revealed that his account has been banned when he was on a vacation abroad.

He went on a long vacation in Russia and apparently forgot that the game is Battlegrounds Mobile India and not PUBG Mobile. He tried to open the game on the local network in Russia but it did not open. The loading screen kept popping up for a long time and after that, he received a notification that declared that his account has been banned.

This ban is imposed because of the regional change and Dynamo assured his fans that he is working with the officials to get the account back. He stated that his account may return back within a day but the account has not been unbanned yet.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is a new game developed by Krafton for the Indian region only. This game is quite similar to the other localized versions of PUBG Mobile where players from other regions cannot access the game.

Dynamo tried to access the game from an entirely different country and hence received the ban. His account may return back very soon but this action clarifies that overseas players cannot play BGMI unless and until it is accessed from India.

Team Envy sign yay

Jaccob “Yay” Whiteaker has been acquired by Team Envy from AndBox, the former organization announced today on Twitter. He will debut with Envy at the upcoming VCT Stage 3: Challengers playoffs event.

Having joined AndBox in September 2020, yay contributed a huge impact to the team’s success with his Duelist role, where he played Jett as his main agent. Under the 22-year-old North American, AndBox picked championships at the NSG Organized events including the Renegades invitational. In addition to it, with Jaccob on board, AndBox had a promising run at the VCT Stage 2 where they qualified for the Challengers Finals but were denied a spot further by Version1. 

Lately, AndBox were rumored to shuffle their roster post their exit from the Open Qualifier of VCT: Stage 3 Challengers 2 and were spotted practicing without yay on the squad. Also, they parted ways with Sebastian “seb” Bucki in a bid to restructure their Valorant division. 

It was later revealed by Team Envy that they have acquired yay from AndBox who would replace Anthony “mummAy” DiPaolo on the active squad who was benched by the Dallas-based Organization. Envy have also signed Jimmy “Marved” Nguyen on loan from FaZe Clan and might need to chalk their plans out going forward towards the Berlin score. 

With Envy already qualified for the Challengers Playoffs event, they might have seemed to have added extra firepower to their team ahead of their clash against TSM FTX in the former event’s opener. The Challengers Playoffs event is scheduled to start from August 11. 

With the addition of Jaccob “Yay” Whiteaker, Team Envy are now:

  • Pujan “FNS” Mehta
  • Victor “Victor” Wong
  • Austin “crashies” Roberts
  • Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker
  • Jimmy “Marved” Nguyen (On Loan from FaZe Clan)
  • Anthony “mummAy” DiPaolo (Reserve)

How to leave a clan in Call of Duty Mobile?

How to leave a clan in Call of Duty Mobile?

Call of Duty: Mobile is the famous multiplayer game developed by Activision to enter the mobile gaming market. This game represents the entirety of the COD franchise on mobile and has tons of features you might come across in other Call of Duty titles. One of the most common attributes of multiplayer games is the formation of a clan and let’s take a look at how you can leave a clan in Call of Duty Mobile.

Clans are basically groups formed in any game where players can work together towards a common goal or play under the same banner. The clan system is found in almost every multiplayer game and COD Mobile has incorporated this system as well.

Players can easily join or leave clans in Call of Duty Mobile if they meet the requirements issued by the clan leaders. It is quite simple to join a clan as one might hover in the ‘Clan’ tab and click on join but some might get confused on how to leave it.

If you want to leave your current clan, follow these simple steps to do so:

  • Open Call of Duty Mobile and login with your account.
  • Click on the ‘Clan’ tab present on the main screen. It will be in the central position on the bottom half of your screen.
  • Go to the ‘Members’ tab and search for your name.
  • Click on the ‘Exit’ button present against your name and confirm your actions by clicking on ‘OK’.

After completing this process, you will quit your current clan. Remember that players cannot join another clan for the next 24 hours so you will have to wait patiently till you complete the cooldown period before joining another clan.
