Overwatch 2 patch notes: Freja buffs
As a gamer, I’ve just got my hands on the latest damage-dealing hero in Overwatch 2, Freja! She made her grand entrance at the start of Season 16 last week, and since then, she’s been tweaked with some sweet buffs to her Quick Dash and Updraft abilities. Now, instead of waiting 4.5 seconds for my Quick Dash cooldown, it’s down to a swift 3.5 seconds. And guess what? My beloved Updraft ability now has a reduced cooldown too – from 12 seconds to just 10 seconds! Let the epic gaming continue!
As indicated by the creators, these modifications were expected to be implemented in a prior update. Unfortunately, they didn’t get activated in the game. The latest Overwatch 2 update rectifies this oversight.
Overwatch 2 patch notes: Stadium Battle Pass XP bug
Today’s update has resolved an issue with the Overwatch 2 Battle Pass experience points. Previously, it seemed that players were only getting 100 Battle Pass XP upon finishing a match within the Stadium game mode last week.
People on Reddit expressed their annoyance with this too. For instance, one user created a post discussing how this situation might deter people from going to the Stadium. Additionally, some players hypothesized that it was a visual glitch, noting that their actual level advancement did not align with the displayed prizes.
Thankfully, this is now fixed. Matches completed in Stadium are now granting proper Battle Pass XP.
