Players have stumbled upon a new Overwatch 2 exploit that grants them the ability to venture beyond the confines of the Oasis map. This exploit highlights the vastness and intricacy of the game world. Overwatch 2 diverges from its predecessor by embracing the live service model, featuring an extensive microtransaction store, frequent updates, and a seasonal structure that includes a battle pass, challenges, and additional content. While this shift hasn't always been welcomed by Overwatch 2 players, the game consistently provides new activities and experiences. Nonetheless, similar to other live service titles like Destiny 2, the continuous updates leave room for the introduction of new bugs and glitches. Although some of these may be harmless visual discrepancies, there are occasions where significant issues can surface, such as the recent bug in Overwatch 2 that prevented players from unlocking new heroes. Recently, players have made an intriguing discovery through a newly found exploit that allows them to venture beyond the boundaries of the Oasis map.
The Oasis map in the original Overwatch has an exploit that allows players to leave the Control area and gain a broader view of the region. Recently, a player named Birnendealer shared screenshots showcasing a larger world view after escaping the play space using Pharah. The surprising revelation was that Oasis is much larger than it initially appears. In Overwatch 2, the Oasis map represents a massive oasis in which the futuristic city is built on a fertile and lush location, surrounded by a sprawling desert.
In addition to the size and landscape, players were also delighted by the attention to detail that Blizzard has included. Even in areas that are unlikely to be seen during a match, flying through the sky reveals the presence of flying vehicles, a bustling highway system, and boats sailing across the water.
The Overwatch 2 map exploits are showcased in a video by TeamColtra, demonstrating how Pharah can easily bypass the world border by climbing a specific wall. This allows players to explore other smaller maps as well. Despite multiple attempts to fix this exploit, it consistently manages to resurface in the game, as mentioned by other players in the comments.
The Overwatch 2 community has played a significant role in discovering both intended and unintended elements of the game. Among these discoveries, character synergy has garnered attention, such as the recent collaboration between Cassidy and Lifeweaver. In this instance, the players effectively utilized a combination of Nano-boosted Cassidy triggering Deadeye while Lifeweaver's Life Grip propelled Cassidy into the air for an aerial strike, resulting in the defeat of the entire enemy team.
Overwatch 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
