Overwatch 2 bug causes hysteria as "Bastion" players paint the world with cannons

Now, new video games, especially those that include a lot of unique powers, are bound to have bugs. Overwatch 2" (opens in new tab) is not without such bugs, some of them frustrating (opens in new tab) and some of them funny. This is ...... Even if it is an exploit, it is hysterical.

Players of Bastion, the lovable robot, have found that if they time it right and hit the right clicks and keys at the right time, they can call in a very, very large number of artillery strikes. That's as many clicks as Bastion's new Ultimate will allow in the limited time available.

No, I'm not going to tell you how to do it here, because you shouldn't do it in public. If you are going to do it in public, never do it in competition. It is a cheat in a very bad way, ruining other people's good time. In a bot match? In a custom game? In private. This is laughable.

Not surprisingly, this is the source of some pretty funny streamer clips. Players are caught off guard, shocked, and overwhelmed by the cannon markers and explosions that come suddenly." They buffed the bastion ult!" BastionMain11 posted on Twitter. (opens in new tab)
