In the hero shooter Overwatch there is now a new feature. With this, you can “stack” your heroes. The result is truly monstrous creations.
The creative mode of Overwatch called Workshop has been providing many laughs since its release. For example, you can play the popular card game UNO or a beat’em-up in the style of Street Fighter.
What kind of feature is this? The latest feature of the mode, “Attach Player”, allows you to merge the game characters into a single one, and it looks really crazy.
This happens by stacking the characters on top of each other:
- the first player in the lobby acts as the “base”, on which the others stack
- the “base” hero can move on its own
- heroes stacked on the “base” can only attack
- stacked heroes move together with the “base” hero, who controls the monstrosity – they essentially take on its movement speed
So if you let, for example, a Bastion be carried by a fast hero like Genji or Tracer, you get a killing machine with sprint that can rain death and destruction on its opponents.
The fun doesn’t stop here. The feature allows you to stack more than just 2 characters. The YouTube user Andy B did what we all would probably have done in his place: He, in the name of science, merged the whole team:
What happens in the video? In the video, you first see the normal setup of one of the teams, which consists of 3 healers and 3 tanks. It is the unpopular GOATS composition, which is designed for maximum defense and is considered boring in tournaments.
The characters are then merged into a Frankenstein monster by the new Workshop feature. The funny thing is, they are still controlled by individual players from the team.
This means that while the direction is determined by the carrier, the attacks and skills are still executed by 5 other players.
You can see in the video how a hammer-and-shield-wielding and shooting amalgam of death collides with another. Later, other heroes like Winston or Wrecking Ball join in.
If you feel like a round of murderous chaos in Overwatch, then use the code 9MGGG and get started.
