Overwatch 2 bug is letting heroes halt the target whereas invisible

May push map Esperança be the following factor Blizzard pulls from Overwatch 2? There is a truthful probability after one participant found a glitch that may trigger some very irritating deadlocks.

Reddit consumer u/ilax300 posted an illustration of the glitch utilizing assist hero Mercy. It utilises a rock near the center of the map, one which seems to don’t have any collision. The participant was ready to make use of Mercy’s sitting emote, scooting her into the nook of the rock earlier than floating down and vanishing totally. Not solely is that an issue in and of itself, the place can be shut sufficient to the target for hidden gamers to contest it, rendering the robotic unmoveable and leaving the enemy group fairly rattling confused.

I gave the glitch a attempt myself. Certain sufficient, I used to be in a position to get Mercy to vanish with relative ease, solely having a tiny a part of her knee poking out. I additionally tried it with a few different smaller heroes who I’ve sitting emotes for. Lucio’s bouncing hair offers him away, whereas Moira’s genuflection leaves her head poking out of the highest of the rock. 

I roped in options producer Imogen to examine Widowmaker and, shock shock, she in some way vanishes even simpler than Mercy. I do not possess it personally, however Tracer’s emote additionally appears to be like like it could make her fully hidden. A touch upon the Reddit thread confirmed that Kiriko’s kneel emote does the trick too. There’s an opportunity Genji’s sitting emote might squeeze in, although I believe his sword might give him away.

Overwatch 2 has confronted its justifiable share of issues since launching in October. Although we have had no maps eliminated to this point, we’ve got seen three heroes briefly banished. Torbjorn and Bastion had been eliminated a mere week into launch, with each having main means exploits inflicting issues in matches. They had been finally introduced again, however not lengthy after noticed Mei frozen out of the game due to a glitch along with her ice wall. 

Mei was set to return through the mid-season patch on November 15, however that is additionally been delayed due to a “important challenge.” Hopefully, Esperança will not be going wherever. However with Blizzard getting right into a behavior of pulling issues for weeks at a time, there’s an opportunity we’ll be waving goodbye to the map for a short time. Some gamers are calling for ranked modes to disable using emotes totally, particularly since this is not the primary time it is occurred. Again in Overwatch 1, plonking Junkrat in a bush on Eichenwalde would contest the payload. I assume Blizzard will briefly nix the emote whereas it throws a little bit of collision onto the offending rock.
