Blizzard recently released its biggest update yet for Overwatch 2, a content drop called Invasion that’s headlined by a powerful new support hero and a handful of story-driven PvE levels. But the bigger draw for longtime Overwatch players is a new core game mode, Flashpoint. That mode, inspired by Call of Duty’s Headquarters Pro game type, is a breath of fresh air for Overwatch players who’ve been cycling through many of the same maps and modes for the past 10 months.
Overwatch Season 6 Invasion Patch Notes & New Hero Abilities
10.08.2023 - 22:07 / wowhead.com / New
Overwatch 2's largest update ever, Season 6: Invasion, is now live, featuring the new Support hero Illari, Flashpoint, and sweeping balance changes.
New Support Hero: Illari Illari's primary fire is hitscan, which charges up between shots, up to 75 damage. Her primary fire only has 1.5x critical damage multiplier, compared to the standard 2x. Illari's primary fire damage begins dropping off at 30m, capping out at 50m. Her secondary fire shoots similar to Zarya's or Symmetra's beams, and uses a heat system instead of ammo, overheating if you spend it all. Using her secondary fire pauses the charge on her primary fire. Illari's Healing Pylon lasts indefinitely. It has 150 HP, with 75 being regenerating shields. Her ultimate requires 90 damage on a marked target to detonate, with the explosion doing 120 AoE damage, potentially starting a chain reaction. Flashpoint Flashpoint is a new core game mode with 2 new maps: New Junk City & Suravasa. Flashpoint is similar to Control, where you win by controlling an objective until you reach 100%. The Flashpoint will rotate after the current one is captured, and the first team to capture 5 Flashpoints wins the game. Flashpoint will be enabled in competitive play later in the season.New Junk City
PvE Story Missions Three new PvE Story Missions launch with Season 6: Toronto, Gothenburg, and Rio De Janeiro. These missions are not free, and can be purchased with the Invasion Bundle from the in-game shop. The missions show the Invasion of Null Sector, lead by Ramattra. The three story missions are 4-player co-op, and you will be matched with other players if not playing in a pre-made group. Each of the three missions has a limited selection of heroes to play as. Completing the story missions will unlock the Vigilante Sojourn Legendary Skin.Vigilante Sojourn

King's Row: Underworld runs from August 10th to September 5th. General Updates Health Packs are now pingable.
