In Overwatch 2, Bastion will be able to move while in Sentry form. The firing rate in this form is much slower now, however, having been reduced by a significant 50%. If you’ve aimed right, you’re hitting the target no matter how long you’ve held the button down.

Moving to his recon form, the one that most Overwatch players will recognize as Bastion’s standing form, his weapon will no longer have weapon spread while shooting in this form. It’s being completely removed from his kit in Overwatch 2, so you’re going to have to rely on your healer buddies a lot more hereon in. The one that is probably going to stick out the most, apart from his hat upgrade, is that Bastion no longer has the ability to self-heal in any of his forms. Although not listed, a key change is the fact that Bastion now has a hat, which makes his rework clearly the best of the bunch. While the changes are not obviously better compared to his existing form as Sombra’s is, there is certainly a lot to like with many interesting and fun updates to his new kit. Wowsers.īastion has gone through quite a dramatic overhaul too. The effect of hacking will now also reveal the location of all hacked enemies to your entire team, even through walls, much like Sombra’s passive worked on low-health enemies in Overwatch 1. With the passive damage increase, you’re going to be able to apply those hacks much more liberally with the new 3-second cooldown. The castable hack ability itself has undergone some pretty dramatic changes as well. Percentage-based damage is always really powerful, but will the removal of a second tank make this ability as potent as it seems on paper? We’ll have to wait and see, but with smaller health bars around, perhaps this ability isn’t as grotesquely powerful as it seems at first glance. To balance this huge AoE damage, the developers have taken the ability’s effect of removing shields. Her ultimate ability EMP has overgone a damage-focused revamp also, with the ability now dealing a flat 40% of current HP damage as well as applying the effects of hacking to those hit. Furthermore, her damage from each pistol shot has been reduced by one but has had the overall spread reduced by 20%.

The footage from the recent Overwatch 2 showcase suggests that this change alone has made Sombra a top-tier damage-dealing force in the second game. Last week, it came to light that one of the game’s development heads has departed Blizzard.Sombra’s passive will now automatically give her a whopping 50% additional damage against targets that she’s hacked either through her ability or her ultimate.

The game doesn’t have a release date yet, but isn’t expected until 2022 at the earliest. You can check out videos explaining the reworks for Bastion and Sombra in Overwatch 2 below. Her ultimate EMP now no longer breaks shields, but does damage all enemies in its radius for 40% of their health. The Hack also reveals an enemy’s position through walls to the entire team for 8 seconds. Sombra meanwhile sees her Hack’s cooldown reduced to 3 seconds, but now only locks out an opponent’s ability for one second. You’ll be able to call down an artillery strike three times anywhere on the entire map. Rather than turning into a tank, he’ll go into an Artillery mode. Meanwhile, his Sentry mode can now move while firing at a reduced speed, but its damage has been reduced to compensate. His recon form weapon is now less of a shotgun, but as a much larger range. This replaces his ability to self-repair, which has been removed in the sequel. While the grenades will bounce off walls, they’ll stick to enemies and floors. It’ll detonate after a short delay, and also knocks back any enemy that it strikes. Bastion’s changes include a new Tactical Grenade bound to his alt-fire.

The changes were announced during the Overwatch League Grand Finals (as spotted by PC Gamer). Blizzard has detailed some of the major changes the team are making to Bastion and Sombra in the upcoming shooter sequel Overwatch 2.
