Overwatch 2's new patch introduces a chaotic new mode and a few chaotic bugs.

Overwatch 2's latest patch introduces a limited time deathmatch mode that makes the game's most absurd abilities even more absurd.

The eight-player deathmatch plays out like the Total Mayhem arcade mode as heroes zoom around the map throwing ultimates and abilities at each other. It's complete chaos and a stark departure from the tactics in the game's regular team-based modes. I'm not a fan of deathmatch in Overwatch 2, but I can see why the absurdity of Battle for Olympus could be a ton of fun for people looking for a vacation from ranked or quick play.

Outside of the new mode, Junker Queen received a list of buffs, including one major unintended buff to her axe ability that players found almost immediately. The raucous brawler has the unique ability to cleave enemies with her huge axe and inflict a chunk of damage and lifestealing wounds on them. In the new patch, the axe's cooldown is"reduced by 2 seconds for each enemy it impacts," according to the notesWhen testing it out, players found the buff is a lot better than that.
