Blizzard released a patch for Overwatch Monday aimed at fixing a number of bugs, the most damaging of which allows Torbjorn’s turret to shoot through walls. The bug has been in the game for several weeks now, and players have been voicing complaints about it on Twitter and the official Overwatch forums. One YouTuber captured an example of the exploit, which you can watch below.
As you can see, the bug makes it impossible for attacking players to destroy the turret when walking through the choke point on Volskaya, but the turret can freely target and kill players, despite it lacking proper line-of-sight. To call this bug frustrating would be a massive understatement, and this isn’t the only map it was present on. Players are sure to be relieved to see this bug removed.
The patch went live today on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Full notes available below.
