A strange bug in Overwatch allows players to compete against 50 opponents at the same time. This creates insane game modes!
In the past, small glitches and bugs have occasionally found their way into the live version of Overwatch. There was, for instance, a bug long ago that allowed matches of 12vs12 by filling both sides with 6 bots.
A new glitch now makes the old limit look like “peanuts.” It is currently possible to set a whopping 50 bots for the opposing team by exploiting this bug!
Insane game modes with 50 bots
The community didn’t question what such a bug is doing in Overwatch; instead, they jumped on the error and created some particularly insane game modes. Here are some examples:
- Genji Hell: 2 Genjis against 50 Bastions
- Cops and Robbers: 6 Soldier: 76 against 50 Roadhogs
- Zombie Apocalypse: Selected heroes against 50 Reapers using only melee attacks
- Meat Grinder: 6 Doomfists against 25 Roadhogs
The YouTuber mazarisfx made a small video about his game modes, where things also get just downright crazy. Some overpowering situations he simply cannot handle with his team.
Also for fans of McCree, “the hour has struck,” as they can now take out as many opponents as never before with their Ultimate. 20 Zenyatta kills with one click – and that, even though the revolver only has 6 shots.
And to conclude: When winter comes, all Torbjörns move south…
This opportunity surely won’t last long, as it is a clear game error. However, given how much fun players are currently having with the “new modes,” it is only a matter of time before Blizzard turns this bug into a funny feature.
What do you think about this glitch? Should Blizzard make this a permanent option for fun custom games? Or should the bug be fixed quickly?
