The Halloween Photobombing from Overwatch is entering a new round – and becoming sillier than ever before.
Halloween is the time in Overwatch when all players want to grab as many loot boxes as possible to snag the cool event skins. Because until November 1st, during the Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017, there are plenty of new items to get.
But the Halloween event also features the game mode Junkenstein’s Revenge. In this mode, it’s mainly about two things: Eliminating Zomnics and photobombing. Because during the game mode, bosses keep appearing, announced by a short cutscene. Since this cutscene is calculated live in-game and time does not completely stop, your characters can burst into the scenes.
A small competition has broken out in the community to see who can execute the best photobombing to humorously ruin the appearance of the various bosses. Here we present a small selection of the highlights from Reddit so far.
Halloween Photobombing in 2017
McCree is way too cheerful for being stuck in a Zomnic hell. It’s hard to explain how happy he looks grinning at the camera with Junkenstein’s monster.
Another clip comes from OmegaReu. He doesn’t just photobomb the summoner’s photo – he completely blocks it. Apparently, McCree’s abs have taken over the job. The ladies must like that!
Teabagging is almost a common courtesy in the community. But as long as it only affects NPCs, probably no one can say anything against it. XeRoXayuki shows that Widowmaker seems to care little about Mercy’s appearance – and steals the show from her directly.
There’s this Soldier, who rudely holds up the Loser-L to all players. It could be a bit friendlier, don’t you think?
Have you also shoved yourselves into the boss cutscenes? Or do you find it silly and does it annoy you when players want to force it?
Have you seen what analysts from the Overwatch League think? They’ve downgraded Activision Blizzard…
