What you need to know
- There's currently an Overwatch 2 bug that allows Bastion to fire upwards of 20 shells with the Artillery Ultimate.
- The bug guarantees that the Bastion player will get several kills, and it can also ensure that their opposition won't be able to contest objectives for an extended period of time.
- Using the bug may get your account banned, as Blizzard has banned players for abusing exploits before and other players will no doubt report you.
This can lead to terrifying (and hilarious) moments where Bastion can launch upwards of 20 artillery shells all around the map, guaranteeing several kills and/or making it impossible for the Bastion's opponents to contest objectives like payloads or capture points. The only downside to using the bug is that you'll be a stationary target for longer than you normally would, but when you can rain death down on the entire map, that's hardly a problem.
Note that while this bug will likely win you matches if you use it, there's a solid chance that Blizzard will ban you for exploiting the glitch. The studio has issued bans to players for taking advantage of Overwatch bugs and issues before, and there's a very high likelihood that you'll get reported to the developers by the enemy team if you abuse this one.
Hopefully Blizzard is aware of this particular bug and will implement a fix as soon as possible. In the meantime, try to stay mobile whenever you hear Bastion start to chirp Ride of the Valkyries, because you'll need to be to have a chance of surviving the incoming Artillery salvo.
Overwatch 2 is available now on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. It's arguably one of the best Xbox shooters available, and since it's free-to-play, it doesn't cost anything to check it out. Alternatively, players can purchase the Overwatch 2: Watchpoint Pack that provides access to Season 1's Premium Battle Pass, 2,000 Overwatch Coins, and a bundle of unique Legendary skins.
