While its roster of more than 30 heroes may be its main selling point, Overwatch 2 ‘s matches wouldn’t be nearly as fun without its variety of maps. From the streets of New York to the chaotic wasteland of Junkertown, each map offers an exciting new battleground for players to compete
It’s the assault and the flanker, all in one place. These two characters couldn’t be more different, and that’s why they work well together. Cassidy is powerful from up close and afar and can cause a lot of damage if you aim properly at people’s heads. Not to mention his combat roll (and ultimate, if you’re willing to ditch it) gives him fast ammo recovery allowing him to keep firing almost non-stop for a long t
Dorado takes the heroes of Overwatch 2 events to Mexico, and anybody who has played the original game is intimately familiar with this map. From its chaotic city streets to the inner facility it moves into, this payload map provides great opportunities, whether you’re on attack or defe
Another good tank to start with, Roadhog became a very difficult character to kill in Overwatch 2. He has the biggest health bar in the game, and one ability that heals 50 percent of your max health in a short time. His famous hook also allows you to get a quick kill among the squishy charact
So, we turn to the premium version of Battle Pass, which immediately gives you the new support hero, Kiriko, and offers an EXP boost when leveling up. Whether or not this is a deal you want to take is your choice, but we’ve all definitely considered dropping some of our hard-earned money for t
The map has seen a change from nighttime to early morning, making it easier to appreciate all the sights. Otherwise, Lijiang Tower still holds up as an excellent control point map. Its points are designed to be circular regardless of where you are, ensuring you’ll meet up with an enemy player sooner or la
Hopefully, you’re not playing a healer or a tank, though. Then the team really, really needs you to get your butt in gear. Don’t wander too far from the team that needs you! (We won’t tell if you take a few extra looks around while you’re running to join your team, thou
Overwatch 2 is finally here, and with it comes several changes and refreshes to its predecessor. Chiefly, the game is now free to play, which is a significant boon, as the series now floods itself with a swathe of new players who’ve never experienced the sci-fi, comic-book-hero magic of Overwatch ‘s aesthe
The turret can control open areas, helping with the overall fight, while sentries can control smaller areas or flanking routes. If the turret can also overlook flanking routes in its position, the sentries can slow enemies down and get their attention while the turret finishes them
If you’re playing Overwatch 2 on PC, then you probably find yourself slamming the tab key every time you die, to make sure that, despite your elimination, you’re still holding “gold damage” over everyone else. However, the medal system, and the match summary menu as a whole, have been entirely overhauled, now displaying zero “glittering priz
So we test all our old favorites, bringing them into quick play matches and seeing how well they hold up to the version we remember so fondly. Sometimes, they feel even better than before, and sometimes, they’re practically strangers to
Now that the Queen herself is playable, she can finally protect her own home or even besiege it. Otherwise, Junkertown is largely untouched, but it’s still a great map. From the surrounding deserted city to its bustling interior, it’s always a map you’ll be happy to
These skins have always required a specific currency called League Tokens, which you either earn through watching live matches on an eligible platform for a specified amount of time, or you can outright pay for an amount of tokens. Though players will notice now, that upon checking on the payment options for League Tokens, the price has been slightly increased. Some skins now require an amount that is just slightly above the $10 USD amount, meaning players will have to buy an amount that leaves them with excess currency, essentially like you’re paying more for a single skin. Why was this amount changed? Yes, Overwatch is now free to play, but the price increase in micro transactions could (and most likely will) far outweigh the amount you would’ve paid for a new game in the first pl
The changing locale in Eichenwalde makes every match exciting, starting in the cramped outskirts and moving into the more open inner city. It reaches its apex as the attackers move into the crumbling fortress, ending off in the grand throne room. Thematically and graphically, Eichenwalde stands t
If you’re a fan of the cowboy culture and are looking for a mid to long-range character in the game, Ashe is perfect for you. With the right support and positioning, this character can destroy the enemy’s back line without a hitch. There are also certain tricks with the character that can help you master her eas
