Summary
A newOverwatch 2Workshop game mode sees players get chased around by a horrific killer cow. Those looking for a different kind ofOverwatch 2experience can try out the mode from the game’s well-received custom modding tool.
The Workshop tool has been around since the originalOverwatch’s heyday, introduced back in April 2019. It’s carried over to the sequel, and players' creativity has since resulted in a lot of really funcustomOverwatch 2game modesworth checking out if one has tired of the typical ranked or casual experience.
In this customOverwatch 2mode called Cow FFA, a player is trapped in a big empty room with a Wrecking Ball modded to look like a wireframe of a gigantic cow. The cow, which looks to be really overpowered, is simply tasked with running around the room and going after the player. Redditor wadefatman on r/Overwatch posted their game footage in which they kept dying to the cow, suggesting that it’s really hard to kill. For those who want to try it themselves, the game mode can be accessed on Workshop with the code N666MZ.
Overwatch’s Workshop Is a Source of Broken Fun
Those who haven’t tried outOverwatch 2’s Workshop are in for a lot of fun. The variety ranges from assigning different animations to completelychanging the abilities ofOverwatchheroes, allowing for near-limitless possibilities. The ability for players to make wacky creations and custom game modes has been a staple feature in Blizzard games dating back to the days of the originalWarcraftandStarCraft, which resulted in unusual experiences – and even led to the rise ofDOTAand the wildly successful MOBA genre.
However, while zany game experiences like Cow FFA can be found all overOverwatch 2’s Workshop, it also can be a source of headaches for both other players and the dev team at Blizzard. There was aninstance back in the originalOverwatchwhere cheaters could bring in the functionality of custom Workshop scripts into ranked play, where they would obviously be unfair and prohibited. Fortunately, that no longer seems to be a major problem in today’s iteration of theOverwatchWorkshop.
Meanwhile, theOverwatch 2environment remains healthy. Blizzard has justreleased a newOverwatch 2updatethat makes some balance changes, including nerfs to Roadhogg and Cassidy, as well as a few improvements to a number of different heroes. Meanwhile, the metagame is constantly changing, especially with the impending arrival of the new Space Ranger character in Season 12.
