Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes – May 21, 2024

Hero Updates

Damage

Venture

Drill Dash

• Cooldown now begins when the ability is used.

• Cooldown is no longer decreased by half when used underground.

• Cooldown is accelerated by 90% when underground.

Burrow

• Added a 0.2-second grace period after the Burrow timer runs out where emerging can still be charged.

Developer Comments: As we continue to monitor Venture's gameplay throughout their release Season, we are making a change today that adds more flexibility to using Drill Dashes. Players will now be less punished for using their Drill Dash above ground and immediately burrowing due to the new accelerated cooldown while underground.

Bug Fixes

Heroes

Zarya

• Increase self-knockback on secondary fire to account for increased tank knockback resistance.
