The patch also adds lots of bug fixes, improvements, and tweaks.
Overseer 2 didn't have the smoothest launch, but the game keeps moving forward endlessly. As patches continue to roll out, players are hoping that the game's glitches will finally be a thing of the past. The game's decision to remove loot boxes in exchange for a battle pass system was widely hated by the fan base, and the price of cosmetic items found in the game's store continues to irritate players. Now, Update 3.39 brings some balance changes with the annual Halloween event.
Check out a trailer for the Halloween Terror event below.
The annual Halloween Terror event brings with it a new Arcade mode titled Junkenstein's Revenge: Wrath of the Bride. While Junkenstein's Revenge mode in the first Overwatch title was adored by the community, the same can't be said for Wrath of the Bride. In the past, the seasonal event brought with it many exclusive cosmetics and lootboxes, Overseer 2 removed skins as rewards, instead charging money if players want to dress up for the spooky holiday.
The event will run until November 9, and participating will net players the Nightfall Over Adlersbrunn Calling Card, Jack-o'-Lantern Weapon Charm, and Battle Pass XP.
Read the full patch notes below. For those expecting major changes to hero balancing, don't expect to be too thrilled.
