• Immortality Field allows survival of hitting the death plane in 0% cooldown custom games.
• Baptiste’s arm tattoo for the Los Angeles Gladiators Home and Away skins is not as noticeable as others.

Thanks for helping us testing Baptiste, our newest addition to the Overwatch roster! We are now concluding the 1.34 Public Test, as the most recent update will be coming up live.

The Public Test Region will not be accessible until we update with new content in a very near future. We will leave the PTR Forums active so you can continue to provide any additional feedback and bug reports.

Thank you for participating and may Baptiste keep his teammates alive!

LORE

Does the Caribbean Liberation Front have affiliations with Talon, Overwatch, Blackwatch, Helix Securities or any other in-game organizations?

Michael Chu: They’re not directly related, but members of one would often end up moving to one of the others. Many of these organizations sprang up in the years after the end of the Omnic Crisis.
