Blizzard has released their new patch notes for Overwatch 2, and they aren’t very heft. In the General Updates, Overwatch 2 is introducing a dynamic twist to the hero mastery courses. Now, completing a hero mastery course in the gold bonus tier will not only test your skills but also your speed. You’ll earn a bonus score based on how quickly you conquer the course, with this bonus score calculated down to the nearest tenth of a second.
Blizzard has been hard at work addressing pesky bugs in Overwatch 2. In the Bug Fixes section, you’ll find that we’ve resolved issues such as jump pads mysteriously going offline during round transitions and Sombra’s EMP occasionally failing to do its job. We’ve also squashed a particularly irksome bug in Suravasa that prevented players from properly contesting the Ruins objective point (E) in certain locations.
Below, you’ll find the patch notes for Overwatch 2 courtesy of the official website.
OVERWATCH 2 RETAIL PATCH NOTES – SEPTEMBER 19, 2023
General Updates
- Completing a hero mastery course in the gold bonus tier will now grant a bonus score based on how fast you completed the course. This bonus score is granted based on the time differential down to the nearest tenth of a second between your time and gold bonus tier. This new bonus time can be viewed in the finish line bonus tooltip on the course summary screen. This change affects all Hero Mastery courses played going forward and should allow the global leaderboards for each course to be more competitive.
