Due to Bastion’s ultimate being wholly broken, the character has been fully removed from the game. There was a character-related bug affecting users, Robot’s Ultimate allows players to unleash a potent blast up to three times in a single second and can be used as many times as possible during that period. The only mode in which Torbjörn is still playable is Quick Play. According to a tweet from Overwatch’s official account, both heroes have been taken out of play “until we iron out a few problems in their ability kits.”
When will both of the characters be back?
The highly anticipated hero shooter sequel was released on October 4 but had instant problems due to two distinct distributed denial-of-service assaults on the game’s servers. The DDoS assaults caused players to wait in lengthy lines to enter the game just to be booted out again, as well as hours of server outage the next day while Blizzard attempted to remedy the issue. It is uncertain when either character will return. The developers will review the concerns and try to fix them as quickly as possible and will provide an update.
Who are Bastion and Torbjorn in OW2?
When it comes to team configuration, Bastion fits in the medium-to-long range. He has impressive range while in his usual settings, although his accuracy decreases slightly under sustained firing. In most cases, Bastion can either equal an infiltrator’s damage output or make themselves more difficult to kill once they reach the backline.
Torbjorn, on the other hand, has the ability to shoot rivets at a great distance or molten metal in a brief, close-range burst. Turrets are constructed, improved, and repaired by Torbjörn using his all-purpose hammer. It can also be used as a weapon in an emergency.
