Ever since "Overwatch" got released in May 2016, the game constantly received various updates that changed the way the game was played rapidly. Now, patch notes for the game's Public Test Realm (PTR) are released.
According to the official "Overwatch" website, the most notable changes are made with the infamous gentle-natured robot Bastion. The update gives the Sentry deploy a reduction in deployment time while increasing its bullet spread by 50 percent.
Also, the bullet spread is now at a constant maximum as opposed to its increasing rate while firing. The robot also receives a 100-bullet magazine upgrade as well as changes in the character's Recon, getting a decreased bullet spread while increasing its capacity by five more bullets.
According to Game Rant, the change that made the most buzz among the game's players is Bastion's new passive called Ironclad. The ability allows it to become more resistant to damage when playing in Tank or Sentry configuration, making it stronger and more flexible in various combat situations.
As for the fan-favorite support character Mercy, her ultimate was changed in such a way that it renders her and her teammates immune to harm. The reason behind the change, despite Mercy's powerful kit, is that it will allow the support to survive long enough to regroup with her teammates instead of just sacrificing herself in the process.
Minor changes in the new PTR update include D.va's Defense Matrix improvement, which allows it to block more efficiently. Also, the Eichenwalde map gets fixes, especially the gate near the castle doors that spelled problems to players as it closes whenever the payload passes through.
Lastly, the highly anticipated Capture the Flag Arcade game is also implemented as well as other adjustments that improve the overall game experience. One of these is the custom games browser.
"Overwatch" is available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Here is the latest video for the game:
