     Overwatch 2 Tracer bug will not disable DPS hero says Blizzard

A recently discovered Overwatch 2 Tracer stealth buff has been making the rounds in the communities of the competitive FPS game, and now Blizzard has responded to the issue, confirming that Tracer won't be removed due to the issue with the Overwatch 2 character instead getting a buff when the bug is removed, to compensate for the change in the multiplayer game.

     How to feed and recruit Disney Dreamlight Valley animals

To be surrounded by Disney Dreamlight Valley animals, you don't have to have a singing voice like Snow White. Instead, just find out what these Dreamlight Valley critters like to eat and keep them well fed. Feed critters enough times, in fact, and you can even turn them into your companion throughout your time in the Valley.

Like pets in an MMO game, companions are an avatar customisation option letting you can choose an adorable animal to follow you around as you explore this Disney life sim - something we can help you with in our Dreamlight Valley guide - and you can even pet them. In order to turn wild critters into companions, as well as earn daily loot and Dreamlight, you'll need to know how to approach them and what they like to eat.

Don't go looking for a Daycare Center if you want to breed Pokemon to get eggs in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (but still make sure you have a Ditto handy). Now they show up during picnics. This is the new mechanic that involves going into the field, setting up a picnic by opting to do so via the main menu, and taking the time to clean Pokemon or make sandwiches. This means before you take a minute to relax, you better double check who's coming to dinner.

How to Breed Pokemon for Eggs in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

First, you want to look at who is in your party. If you really want to force eggs from specific characters, only start a picnic with those two there. Make sure they're from compatible egg groups, then set up camp. If they're not, make sure the character you want and a Ditto are both coming with you.

Once you start the picnic, it is a good time to make a Jam Sandwich. This is one of the earliest recipes you can get via visiting sandwich shops and talking to specific picnickers on the road. It only needs one jam and one strawberry. However, its notable feature is it briefly bestows level one Egg Power. This makes it more likely eggs will show up more quickly.

Finally, hang around a bit. Every few minutes, check the picnic basket lying on the ground at the foot of your table. If characters are compatible, you should start getting eggs.

Bonus: How to Catch a Ditto in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Ditto is absolutely, as always, your buddy when it comes time to breed Pokemon for eggs. It is compatible with every Pokemon capable of doing so in-game. However, doing so is difficult. That's because in the wild, I've only seen a Ditto disguised as other Pokemon. Specifically, I caught mine outside of Porto Marinada.

However, there is another much easier way to find it without randomly entering a battle and hoping the opponent turns out to be a Ditto in disguise. That's Tera Raids. If you check regularly, you'll see the familiar blob. However, I also noticed that the Tera Raid dens around the Porto Marinada region also occasionally housed three-star Ditto raids.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available for the Nintendo Switch.

If you want to change how your trainer's hair, clothing pieces, outfit, or face look in Pokemon Scarlet or Violet, you can do so at any time.

More recent Pokemon games allow players a degree of freedom when picking clothing options for their trainer's outfits or customization options for hair and face choices, and Scarlet and Violet are no different. However, there are some changes to the formula. One of them is that you can change your look at any time, without needing to go to a dressing room. Another means an opportunity to customize different parts of your face. However, people might also notice that some clothing options are a bit lacking this time around too.

If you want to change how your trainer's hair, clothing pieces, outfit, or face look in Pokemon Scarlet or Violet, you can do so at any time.

How Do Pokemon Trainer Clothes Customization Options Work When Picking an Outfit in Scarlet and Violet?

When you're not in a battle, press left on the D-pad. This brings up the Outfit options. You can then select your uniform, legwear, footwear, gloves, bags, headwear, eyewear, and rotom phone case. You only have spring, summer, autumn, and winter school uniforms available.

The other clothing sections each have options sold in stores around Paldea. You start with a few extras ahead of time. For example, you have two types of socks, two kinds of shoes, a pair of gloves, two types of bags, two possible hats, and a pair of glasses already in your inventory when you start your adventure. Also, if you want new Rotom Phone cases, Delibird Presents sells extra designs.

If you want to change how your trainer's hair, clothing pieces, outfit, or face look in Pokemon Scarlet or Violet, you can do so at any time.

How Do Pokemon Trainer Face, Hair, Eye, and Mouth Customization Options Work in Scarlet and Violet?

As with the clothing, you press left on the D-pad while in a town or field. This brings up the Outfit menu. Press the "plus" button to shift to the Looks menu. While in this section, you can change how your character's eye shape, eye color, eyelash shape, eyelash color, eyebrow shape, eyebrow color, mouth shape, lip color, possible beauty spot, and possible freckles might look. Once you're done, press B to confirm your appearance and leave.

If you want to change your hairstyle, you'll need to visit a city with a hair salon. Each Salon Renancer noted on the map by the scissors icon. You'll need to pay 3,000 to change your look. That covers both a new haircut and color.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available for the Nintendo Switch.

How to Evolve Tandemaus into Maushold in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Tandemaus is a rather unique normal-type Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet, in that it looks like a duo that becomes a trio or quartet when you evolve one into a Maushold. However, getting that to happen can be a little tricky! Also, since it is so small, you might have trouble finding one.

How to Evolve Tandemaus into Maushold in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

How to Find Tandemaus in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

If you check the Pokedex entries, it'll suggest Tandemaus is a Pokemon that can be found in a number of areas around Paldea. However, I only saw it rather frequently around the Artazon area. For example, just before I entered town at its west gate, I saw it around the Squawkabilly flock and Baile Style Oricorios. I also saw some around Mela's Team Star hideout.

However, this is also a Pokemon you can find in two-star Tera Raids. So if you're having trouble, open up that online multiplayer menu and look.

How to Evolve Tandemaus into Maushold in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

How to Evolve Tandemaus into Maushold in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

My first experience with evolving my Tandemaus seems to be an atypical one! When mine leveled up from level 25 to 26 following a battle with a wild Pokemon, I saw a traditional evolution scene with it turning into Maushold. However, prior to that, I had used experience items to bring it up from a lower level to the more viable 25. Seeing as how it didn't evolve prior to that, it seems taking part in a battle is a critical part of its evolution. So if you have a Tandemaus at level 24 or 25, bring it into a fights you know it can win until it evolves.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is available for the Nintendo Switch.
