Master Lego Batman’s Gotham with 16 Essential Tips

Master Lego Batman’s Gotham with 16 Essential Tips

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an open-world, largely chill title. Start with story missions to unlock characters, tools, and gold bricks to upgrade your skills, then explore freely. Use Detective Mode often to highlight puzzles and interactables, unlock Batman’s grapple slam to deal with shielded foes, and improve Jim Gordon’s bouncing projectile for AR combat. Check the map for activities you can complete before you’ve unlocked all characters, use Batgirl to reveal map icons, and drive the Batmobile to rack up studs. Revisit the Batcave/Batcomputer to replay missions and claim rewards, and don’t miss purple studs (which multiply) for big boosts. You can also upgrade gadgets at Batmite shops and turn off stud loss on death in accessibility settings for a smoother ride.

Unlock Giovanni’s Radar: Earn the Super Rocket Radar via GO Pass in Pokémon GO

Unlock Giovanni’s Radar: Earn the Super Rocket Radar via GO Pass in Pokémon GO

From the Steeled Resolve event, the Super Rocket Radar is earned through GO Pass: free radar by reaching Rank 30 in GO Pass Basic before May 4 at 8 p.m. local time, or upgrade to GO Pass Deluxe ($4.99) to get it instantly at Rank 1 (and, if you upgrade to Deluxe + 6 Ranks, another radar at Rank 30). New players can’t access Giovanni via Special Research anymore, so GO Pass is the sole route. Points toward Rank 30 come from raids (100 pts), hatching eggs (40 pts), and catching Pokémon (5 pts); during May 2–4 there’s no daily cap on points in this progression window.

Orthworm Finds Its Niche: Bulk Steel in PvP, Not PvE

Orthworm Finds Its Niche: Bulk Steel in PvP, Not PvE

Orthworm debuts as a bulky Steel-type with strong defenses and many resistances, but a weak Attack stat and lackluster moveset limit its PvE viability. In PvP it shines more as a niche pick thanks to bulk and typing, performing better in Great League (with Mud-Slap/Rock Tomb and Iron Head) and potentially Ultra League with XL investment, though it faces stiff competition from established Steel-types. Overall, it’s a low-priority PvE add but a watchful, experiment-friendly PvP option rather than a go-to staple.

Bilt adds tiered earning on housing payments, boosting points to 1.25x

Bilt is launching a tiered earning option in its 2.0 system that lets you earn up to 1.25 points per dollar on rent or mortgage payments, based on how much of your housing payment you put toward everyday purchases. When you select tiers, you won’t earn the Bilt Cash on everyday purchases for that month; you can switch monthly to the original 4% Bilt Cash structure if you prefer — the change takes effect the following month. The update applies to the three new Bilt cards (Blue, Obsidian, Palladium) and complements existing redemption options, adding flexibility for housing-related rewards.
