Overwatch 2 Mishap: Mauga's Hilarious Map Geometry Encounter Delights Fans

During an Overwatch 2 match, a Lifeweaver attempted to rescue Mauga from the abyss, but the rescue attempt backfired, leading to a comical situation where Mauga became hilariously stuck inside the map geometry. Overwatch 2 enthusiasts recently had the chance to test drive the game's newest character, Mauga, a tank hero, during a limited-time preview. Although Blizzcon 2023 officially unveiled the hero, much of his kit had already been leaked weeks prior.

The buzz around Mauga wasn't just about his Talon origin story; it was the surprise availability for a limited time before his official debut in Season 8 on December 5. From November 3-5, Overwatch 2 players had the opportunity to put this new tank hero through various trials, leading to amusing mishaps like one player's attempt to utilize Mauga's ultimate ability to pull enemies into the pit on the Ilios map. As demonstrated in a clip posted by a Reddit user named OVLange, sometimes the game doesn't cooperate as expected.

In the Control match on Ilios, Mauga found himself teetering on the edge of the map. When a nearby Lifeweaver used Life Grip to pull Mauga back up, the maneuver glitched, leaving Mauga stuck under the map geometry, nestled under a staircase. The Lifeweaver inspected the situation, but the enemy team soon caught up, leading to Mauga's hilarious demise with a headshot from Hanzo.

The clip quickly gained popularity among Overwatch 2 players, with many fans sharing humorous comments and puns in response. The moment where only Mauga's head was visible, encapsulating the essence of everything going wrong, particularly resonated with the audience.

In addition to this mishap, players have recently encountered another peculiar glitch on the Colosseo map in Overwatch 2. A specific piece of geometry in a particular location on the Colosseo map is trapping players who walk, jump, or use an ability on it, making them easy targets for the enemy team. Although breaking free seems virtually impossible, resourceful players have discovered that certain abilities from Lifeweaver, Mei, and Symmetra can liberate trapped players.
