Overwatch 2 Stadium hotfix: Tank changes

Regarding tank characters, there are updates for D.Va, Junker Queen, Orisa, and Reinhardt. For D.Va, the enhancements focus on her Ignition Burst Power and Vesuvius Protocol Ability Item, both boosting her lava damage. On the other hand, the spread of her Fusion Cannon Power has been narrowed down.

Currently, the Junker Queen is benefiting from various buffs. The Overwatch 2 team encourages players to try out her shotgun and knife builds for better engagement. Speaking of our beloved horse, she’s receiving buffs on her Scorched Earth ability and Electro Lights weapon item. Reinhardt, on the other hand, is experiencing improvements in his Barrier Reconstruction ability, Dampener Grip, but there’s a nerf to his Feeling the Burn Power, as it no longer affects Smashing or Dampener Grip.
