Summary
During anOverwatch 2match, a Lifeweaver attempts to pull Mauga back up to the map, though it accidentally causes the character to hilariously get stuck inside the map geometry. Recently, fans have been able to go hands on for a limited time with the newestOverwatch 2character known as Mauga. The tank based hero was revealed in full at Blizzcon 2023, even though much of his kit was leaked weeks prior.
For most fans, the biggest reveal wasn’t Mauga’s Talon origin story, but the fact that Blizzard was making him available to use for a limited time. While technically not debuting until Season 8 arrives on December 5, Overwatch 2 players could test him out from November 3-5. Many players took advantage of this to put the new tank character through his paces, testing out what he could do, includingone hilarious fail as oneOverwatch 2Mauga playerthought they could use his ultimate ability to pull all enemies into ther pit on the Ilios map. However, as this player demonstrates, sometimes the game just doesn’t work as well as it should.
Over on theOverwatchsubReddit, a user named OVLange posted a short clip of their Mauga getting hilariously trapped under the map. During a normal Control match, Mauga was pushed off the side of the map and, while attempting to jump back to safety, a nearby Lifeweaver player used Life Grip to pull them back up. However, the pull seemingly bugged out and got stuck under the map geometry, depositing Mauga into what it thought was stable ground under a staircase. The Lifeweaver comes over to check on Mauga, who’s head is really the only visible part within the staircase, though it isn’t long before the enemy team catches up and Mauga is hilariously put out of his misery by a headshot from Hanzo.
The clip has quickly become a big hit amongOverwatch 2players, with many fans posting funny comments and puns in response to the situation. Most seemed to like the part where Mauga’s head was the only part of the character that could be seen, with his expression neatly summarizing everything that had gone wrong for him in that moment.
Players have found anotheroddOverwatch 2map glitchas of late, this time trapping players on the Colosseo map. A single piece of geometry on a specific part of the Colosseo map is seemingly trapping players who walk, jump, or use an ability on it, making them a very easy target for the enemy team. While virtually impossible to break out of, others have found that Lifeweaver, Mei, and Symmetra have abilities capable of freeing trapped players.
