A new update has been released for Overwatch 2 Update 3.65. You can find out all the details of the Game Update, Bug Fixes, improvements, and Patch Notes below.Overwatch 2 Update 3.65 is now available for download, for all platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. The file size may vary depending on the platform.
GENERAL UPDATES
ENDORSEMENTS
Endorsement level decay has been reworked to be more forgiving in some circumstances. The endorsement level always decays slightly whenever you finish a match, but that decay is now reduced by the percentage of players who could not have endorsed you. If none of the players in the match could have endorsed you, your Endorsement level would not decay. The following reasons prevent other players from endorsing you:
- The player is your friend.
- The player endorsed you within the past 24 hours.
Endorsement level decay also no longer occurs when a server shuts down. The most common reason for this is a competitive match shutting down when players leave the match early.
CHALLENGES
Added Legendary, Mythic, and Ultimate Player Title challenges to each hero’s progression challenges.
PROGRESSION
- Victory Pose now shows your Progression Level instead of the Hero Level.
Developer Comments: The hero you end the match on isn’t necessarily representative of you as a player. This change is intended to better show off your overall progression.
SOCIAL FEATURES
- The default option for match text chat is now set to OFF (previously set to ON) for new players. This can be changed in the Social Options.
- The default option for team voice chat is now set to ON (previously set to AUTO-JOIN) for new players. This can be changed in the Social Options.
- Current text or voice chat settings for existing players are not changed.
Developer Comments: We will be changing the defaults for both text and voice chat to encourage effective communication through the ping system while reducing the chance of encountering disruptive chat in the game.
HERO UPDATES
Developer comments: This balance patch is largely focused on widening the window of time players have during combat between some impactful cooldowns, such as Bastion’s reconfigure, Cassidy’s grenade, and many of the support utilities.
TANK
Developer comments: The added projectile speed to Micro Missiles helps improve their consistency at medium range while the decreased movement speed penalty on Fusion Cannons enable D.Va to stick closer to mobile targets, making her more of a threat when diving into the enemy team.
Fusion Cannons
- Movement speed penalty reduced from 40 to 30%.
Micro Missiles
- Projectile speed increased from 40 to 50.
Developer comments: This change will give the stunned player more opportunities to react to Doomfist following a wall stun.
Rocket Punch
- Minimum wall stun duration decreased from 0.25 to 0.15 seconds.
- Maximum wall stun duration decreased from 0.75 to 0.6 seconds.
Developer comments: Increasing the range of the alternate fire will give Winston some more flexibility in positioning while dealing damage from range.
Tesla Cannon
- Secondary fire range increased from 30 to 40 meters.
