Blizzardis changing upOverwatch 2’s casual fighting mode Quick Play for one weekend only, and it’s sure to be something of a chaotic mess.
Overwatch 2has now fallen victim to the DPS hero Sombra and her lethal hacking skills. The former Talon member has now infiltrated the first-person shooter, changing up the rules for the title’s casual fighting mode Quick Play in the process.
Quick Play: Hacked will be available for players to try out for only this weekend coming. It will encapsulate a new way to experience the classic mode with faster object capture speeds, payloads, and respawn times, according to ablog postfrom Blizzard. Who knows how this will impact the inherent tactics ofOverwatch 2, but it will surely change the ways teams regroup and dive.
The specific changes are as follows:
If you’re not a fan of these changes, then rest assured these aren’t permanent. Quick Play will go back to normal after this weekend; think of this as a test run rather than the real deal.
“We want to learn what changes toOverwatch 2you enjoy the most,” said Blizzard in the blog post above. “Testing new ideas with you for a limited time allows us to quickly understand what you like and possibly implement changes to improve gameplay. This also gives players of all skill levels an opportunity to try out new playstyles and strategies that wouldn’t necessarily work as well in a traditional game ofOverwatch.”
So, who knows if or when we’ll ever see these changes back inOverwatch 2? But for the time being, just make sure to hang tight with your team and always be aware of where the enemy spawn is; they’ll be behind you before you know it in a mode where speed is everything.
