Summary
A Mauga player eliminated anOverwatch 2team with the help of their ally Bastion.Overwatch 2continues to expand its roster of playable heroes, and after BlizzCon 2023, tank players have a lot to celebrate.
Overwatch 2has announced Mauga, the 39th hero to join the game’s ranks. With a look reminiscent ofMoana’s Maui,Mauga will arrive inOverwatch 2carrying Gunny, a weapon that ignites enemies, and Cha-Cha, his weapon that deals critical damage to those burned. While Mauga has the potential to have a significant impact onOverwatch 2matches, his origin story is also noteworthy. Behind the image of a “dumb brute,” Mauga hides his intelligence and the great attributes he gained after being rescued from a gunfight. OneOverwatch 2player recently showed how Mauga can give nightmares with the help of a particular ally.
Mauga and Bastion wipe out anOverwatch2 team in an impressive play
A Reddit user took down an entireOverwatch 2team with the help of an ally Bastion. In the clip shared by the player, the two teams contest the payload when Mauga activates his ultimate, Cage Fight, and traps the enemies along with him. On the right side of the team fight, almost off-screen in the clip, Bastion activates his ultimate, Configuration: Artillery, attacking inside the area of Mauga’s ability and getting four out of five kills. In addition to the Gunny and Cha-Cha weapons,Mauga’s abilities inOverwatch 2include the Cage Fight ult. Using it, Mauga creates a barrier that traps enemies with him for 10 seconds, giving him unlimited ammunition to shoot. Bastion’s ult gives three powerful shots thatOverwatch 2players can fire in a selected area.
Mauga was available for a brief test period on November 3 and will debut on December 5 with the arrival ofOverwatch 2’s eighth season. In the comments of the clip, one Redditor noted that the tank has great synergy when paired with any hero that deals area damage. After all, while the ally attacks from outside the Cage Fight barrier, Mauga fights with enemies trapped with him, making it difficult for them to react. But while the new hero is powerful, there are a few ways tocounter Mauga inOverwatch 2. One example is Pharah, who can simply hover above the Samoan while shooting him.
Overwatch 2welcomes Mauga at the end of the year, but the news for the game continues. BlizzCon revealed a new PvE mode and two heroes forOverwatch 2coming in 2024. WhileOverwatch 2tanks have had a hard timein the game’s meta, Mauga’s debut gives tank mains hope for brighter days.
