Latest Bug Information
Roadhog's Hook Piercing Shields
As of November 22, 2022, there is a bug where Roadhog's Hook can pierce through enemy shields. The shield character where this bug has been confirmed is Brigitte, but it seems that the bug does not occur just by hitting the shield straight on, and there are certain conditions for it to happen.
Mei's Ice Wall Wall Glitch
As of November 22, 2022, when using Mei's Ice Wall and Kiriko's Swift Step, it is possible to glitch through walls and go outside the map. Mei's Ice Wall has had various bugs related to it and was temporarily removed from character selection, but the bugs have not been fixed yet.
Exploiting bugs may result in a ban
Using wall glitch and other bugs to disadvantage other players during a match may result in a ban. It is advised to refrain from intentionally causing bugs in Quick Play and Competitive Play.
Frequent Unexpected Errors
As of November 22, 2022, there have been reports of frequent "unexpected errors" occurring while playing Overwatch 2. These errors cause sudden server disconnections (server crashes), resulting in the match being invalidated. These cases have been increasing since the update on November 18, 2022.
