Overwatch 2 Second Beta: Here's What You Have to Know

Role Queue and Open Queue are available in Quick Play. Hybrid and Escort maps will have modified competitive rules where you play assault and defense.

Samito, a popular streamer, praised the devs for crafting a well-designed, non-oppressive hero with wicked gameplay.

Xbox, PlayStation Players may Play the Second Overwatch 2 beta

Overwatch enthusiasts, the moment has arrived!

Now that the second Overwatch 2 PVP beta is online, Xbox and PlayStation gamers may take part in the fun. You may still participate in the beta even if signups are closed by purchasing the Overwatch 2 Watchpoint Pack.

For Quick Play, both Role Queue and Open Queue are accessible. Although Blizzard promised a 'partial competitive ruleset' for this beta, Competitive mode is still absent. Hybrid and Escort maps will temporarily feature a modified set of competitive rules where you play both attack and defense. While there is no penalty for leaving early, other players will be allowed to step in if necessary.

Although there won't be a full-fledged competitive mode in the forthcoming beta, Team 4 made the decision to implement a partial competitive ruleset that would allow teams to play through the whole maps while still allowing backfills in the event that a player disconnects.

Push maps, however, will now run for ten minutes as opposed to eight. A new hybrid map named Paraso, which is situated in Rio de Janeiro, has just been released. With fresh time-of-day illumination, Busan and Watchpoint: Gibraltar are back in the mix.

Junker Queen Tech Dominates Overwatch 2's Second Beta

On June 28, the second beta for Overwatch 2 went online, allowing players the opportunity to test out a new map, an enhanced ping system, a redesigned scoreboard, and many other improvements.

Early reviews have been encouraging, with well-known streamer Samito complimenting the developers for creating a well-designed hero that isn't "oppressive" while showcasing some very wicked gameplay. That doesn't imply, however, that there aren't any more clever moves that the hero can use to become even more powerful.

In the shape of her Jagged Blade, Junker Queen has one of her most fruitful skills. The hero may toss her knife and then summon it back to her, which causes it to behave something like Roadhog's hook and knock her opponent back a little.

The Junker Queen, unlike Kratos, has the ability to use her weapon to score environmental kills by calling it back. If you've ever played the God of War reboot chances are good that you already know precisely how this type of skill works.

It turns out that there is a means to knock back enemies further. As Overwatch streamer SVB demonstrated, enemies may be thrown back a great deal by yoinking off certain surfaces.

When using the ability and playing the hero, this is definitely something to consider. Particularly, when you take into account how getting an environmental kill on an adversary with full health would increase ultimate charge. Of course, bringing an adversary into your squad is a great aid, and getting that first frag may completely dominate the remainder of the battle, much like Roadhog's hook.
