HERO UPDATES

Roadhog

Developer Comments: The broad goal of the Roadhog rework was to improve his frontline presence on the battlefield as a tank hero and reduce the frustration enemy players had with how consistently deadly his hook combo has been in the past.

Roadhog’s previous Scrap Gun ...

We appreciate your patience, and glhf with your weekend queues.

To the heroes of Overwatch,

We want to keep you up to date on some of the bugs and issues we’re aware of that are affecting the game. This is not a complete list of all currently tracked issues affecting Overwatch 2, rather, this is a targeted list of some known specific issues with this release.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience, and we appreciate y’all’s understanding. Our team is working to resolve these issues, and we will provide more information as soon as we have updates!

Current Issues

HALLOWEEN TERROR 2023

Get ready for the spookiest event of the year as Overwatch 2 transforms into a haunted battleground. Halloween Terror is back with your favorite game modes—Junkenstein’s Revenge, Wrath of the Bride, and Trials of Sanctuary, a new Blizzard crossover game mode. Team up with the heroes of Sanctuary, power up their abilities, and defeat powerful bosses, including Butcher Roadhog, Azmodan Wrecking Ball, and Lilith Moira.

...

Due to ongoing technical issues with our Anniversary Challenges, we’re going to keep the Overwatch Credits rewards from challenges disabled for the remainder of the Event. To make up for this, we’re granting everyone who logs in during the first week of Season 7, starting October 10, a reward of 3,000 Overwatch Credits, even if you don’t complete challenges in the Anniversary Event. The Anniversary Credits Shop will be live through October 16. We’ll also have more content available for Overwatch Credits starting in Season 7 which we’ll reveal soon.

We’re currently experiencing an issue with Anniversary Event Challenges granting Overwatch Credits inconsistently. While we investigate, we’re disabling Credit grants from these Challenges. Once we have resolved the issue, we will compensate impacted players.

Please note that Credits will still be displayed as a reward for each of these Challenges. Apologies for the inconvenience!

With the Shop recently having Owl Guardian Mercy available for purchase, all players who bought the skin between August 29 - September 7, 2023, have received a full Overwatch Coins refund and still own their items. If you purchased the skin during that time frame, you should now see the Overwatch Coins credited back into your account. There is no need to start a ticket with Blizzard Customer Service to request a refund. You will need to restart your game client to see the Coins added back to your account.

If you do not have this skin already, you can claim it and add it to your collection when you connect your Prime Gaming account to Battle.net. Learn more on Prime Gaming for...

Hero Updates

Bastion

Reconfiguration

• No longer restores armor when transforming

Developer Comments: Bastion’s self-healing during transformation was doubly effective with how the Ironclad passive stacked with armor damage reduction, making him too capable of surviving ambushes and dives.

General Updates

Hero Mastery

Completing a hero mastery course in the gold bonus tier will now grant bonus score based on how fast you completed the course. This bonus score is granted based on the time differential down to the nearest tenth of a second between your time and gold bonus tier. This new bonus time can be viewed in the finish line bonus tooltip on the course summary screen. This change affects all Hero Mastery courses played going forward and should allow the global leaderboards for each course to be more comp...
