Overwatch 2 patch notes: Tanks

The Junker Queen’s Commanding Shout offers more usefulness to teams, but its shorter duration means a brief period for the speed boost. The cooldown cycle is faster though. Regarding Mauga, there’s an enhancement to his Berserker passive that amplifies his overhealth conversion rate. Additionally, Ramattra gains survivability from a buff to his Nanite Repair perk. Lastly, Zarya receives some adjustments to her perks to enhance her damage output and movement speed.

Moving forward, as previously mentioned by the creators, Bastion is now 10% more compact in terms of model size to ensure he can participate in battles for longer periods. In contrast, Echo’s primary fire spread has been decreased. Regarding the damage-per-second (DPS) characters, Pharah receives an update to her perk, enabling her to initiate shield health restoration more easily. Using Soldier: 76’s Stim Pack perk is now less complicated as well. Reaper and Reaper can both inflict greater damage with their primary fire, and Venture experiences an increase in overall damage output.
