Bizarre New Overwatch Glitch Is Turning Heroes Into Doors
Overwatch fans and players alike are eagerly anticipating the release of the game's sequel, and it appears the quality of the current game is deteriorating rapidly, with hilarious exploits popping up frequently, for no reason. Not because of a hack, or an exploit, but simply a development error.
A new glitch has surfaced in Overwatch, turning heroes into physical doors. No this isn't a typo. A clip has surfaced showing a double door attempting to flank an opponent before being shut down by the opposition.
Twitch streamer Read, the author of the clip, can be heard shouting "What am I seeing? What was that? I was so confused" which perfectly sums up everybody's reaction to this video.
Amidst the battle unfolding in Ilios, the finest mahogany can be seen diving at an enemy using D.Va's mech boosters as the tank had seemingly shapeshifted.
Aiming down the barrel of Ashe's Scoped Viper, the streamer blasted a few rounds at the wooden double doors as it rotated around the payload. Whilst the bullets would have landed onto a D.Va, the lump of lumber had also changed the hitbox of the enemy, resulting in the bullets being missed. The remarkable timber was quickly decimated, and D.Va would spawn in as usual afterwards.
Whilst this may be a one-off situation, its glitch has been typical of the games recent state, and there is no knowledge of whether this could begin to happen again to players in the future. It could also have been a visual bug on the behalf of Read, however with the hitbox seemingly changed, it still leaves players at a disadvantage.
With a glitch of this nature, Blizzard has yet to speak out about the issue, so in the meantime, make sure you're double-checking each and every inanimate object, as it is very possible that a lurking tree or shrub could be hitting up a flank.
