Here are the latest patch notes for Overwatch 2’s Stadium game mode.
The newest update for Overwatch 2, called the Stadium patch, is here! This patch includes changes to how Freja, Tracer, and Brigitte play.
Overwatch 2 Stadium patch notes
Freja buffs
The developers at Blizzard Entertainment have given Freja several improvements due to her historically low winrate. These changes aim to make her more competitive by increasing consistency in her builds. Specifically, they’ve adjusted the explosion radius of her Seismic Shot ability and improved the ammo restoration of Deep Pockets. You can find a complete list of Freja’s updates in the latest Stadium patch notes, provided by Blizzard Entertainment, below.
- Lille Fælde – Power
- Increased effectiveness to 30% reduced effectiveness (up from 40% reduced effectiveness).
- Seismic Shot – Power
- Increased explosion radius increased to 50% (up from 33%).
- Forager – Power
- Increased Max Life Heal per shot to 5% (up from 4%).
- Deep Pockets – Power
- Ammo Restore on Ability Use increased to 40% (up from 25%).
- Volley à Deux – Power
- Increased damage on additional bolts to 50% reduced (up from 66% reduced).
Tracer updates
Next, Tracer receives changes to how easily she can stay alive and to her abilities related to her weapons. Specifically, it’s now more difficult for her to quickly regain a lot of health. The adjustments to her weapon-focused powers, on the other hand, encourage players to try different playstyles and builds.
- Chronal Crux – Stadium Passive
- Now gains 35% less Health, Armor, and Shields from items and cash (previously 25% less).
- Alternate Ending – Power

- Foresight – Power
- Auto-aim reduced to 4 shots (down from 6).
- Temportal – Power
- Increased the portal’s duration to 8s (up from 6s).
- Chrono Bomb – Epic Ability Hero Item
- Increased Ability Power to 20% (up from 15%).
- Increased cost to 10500 (up from 10000).
Brigitte nerf
Regarding Brigitte, her Sköldkastning ability has been adjusted. Specifically, her Shield Bash will now deal less damage. The developers explain that reducing the extra damage makes her abilities more balanced overall and encourages players to experiment with different playstyles.
- Sköldkastning – Power
- Shield Boomerang damage reduced to 40% of Shield Bash damage (down from 60%).
More Overwatch 2 Stadium updates: October 1
So, checking out the latest Stadium patch notes, I noticed they’ve upped the price of the Codebreaker – that epic-tier weapon now costs 10,000 instead of 9,000. Good to know! But even better, it’s gotten a little easier to climb the ranks. They tweaked the ranked distribution curve, meaning I won’t lose as many Stadium Points after a loss. Plus, they’ve adjusted how many points you gain or lose in ranked matches overall, trying to make wins and losses feel more balanced. Seems like a solid update for competitive players like me!
