During Blizzard's opening event at Blizzcon 2023, the very first information were shared on what's can be found in season 8 and beyond in Overwatch 2. Amongst the myriad of brand-new material is a trio of brand-new heroes. While the brand-new heroes each fit into the Tank, Support, and Damage functions, just the latest Tank function, Mauga, was offered a complete take a look at his approaching set. While onsite at Blizzcon 2023, we went hands-on with the double chaingun-wielding Samoan in live gameplay on Xbox Series X.
The very first of Mauga's Tank capability package is Overrun, an unstoppable charge forward that ends with a stomp that can release opponents in the air. Throughout our group interview with 4 of Overwatch 2's advancement group, they hinted that ending the charge straight on an opponent would stun them momentarily. Moreso than that, stopping the charge on a weakened opponent Reaper would deal adequate damage to eliminate them outright. If not, then they would be shocked simply enough time for Mauga's chainguns to complete the task. Being an unstoppable capability, even if Mauga is struck by Ana's sleep dart, he'll advance. There's likewise a restricted capability to guide left and ideal instead of simply a fixed forward charge. Overrun still has some kinks to exercise, particularly with getting tripped up over stairs or running into other things in the environment to stop his charge.
Mauga's other active capability, Cardiac Overdrive, turns the Samoan titan into all 3 functions simultaneously in Overwatch 2. While dealing the very same damage as constantly, Mauga drops an AoE aura that will lower the damage taken and supply a lifesteal impact that recovers any ally within the barrier. For Mauga himself, it isn't sufficient to recover over continual damage by itself however it can supply much-needed relief when attempting to hold the payload while the group's therapist returns into position. And if you're a Reaper primary, Cardiac Overdrive will stack with his signature passive recovery capability.
2 of 9 Shields and short-term health are a signature part of keeping Tank functions alive in Overwatch 2 and Mauga's set permits him to get that short-term health by dealing crucial damage. Basically, this passive is
developed particularly to deal with assaulting with both chainguns and dealing that ensured crucial damage to opponents on fire. Mauga's signature supreme, Cage Fight, drops a barrier around his position and locks anybody who's gone into the barrier, avoiding them from leaving. At the exact same time, Mauga gains unlimited ammunition for as long as he is inside the barrier. The barrier continues to exist even without Mauga living within, so even if he passes away or gets taken out by a Lifeweaver's Life Grip, the supreme will last up until expiration. It'll obstruct any sort of outdoors disruption, so no inbound damage or recovery can go through within. Overwatch 2 The limited-time chance to get hands-on with Mauga will just last through November 5th before he gets risen up until the start of Season 8. When Season 8 launches, gamers can open Mauga by reaching level 45 on the basic Battle Pass or immediately by buying the Premium Battle Pass. Overwatch 2's Season 8 starts on December 5th, 2023.
