Summary
AnOverwatch 2fan just broke the game with Roadhog’s Chain Hook by transforming the iconic ability into a teleporter that seemingly brought its target to two places at once. This mind-bendingOverwatch 2clip gets more confusing the longer players look at it.
Roadhog’s Chain Hook is one of the most iconic abilities inOverwatch 2. As one of the originalOverwatchcharacters, the rotund hero is a staple of the FPS, and none of his abilities are more infamous than his disruptive hook, which was largely unchanged inRoadhog’s recent rework inOW2.
Now, anOverwatch 2player has shared a gameplay video featuring one of the most baffling Roadhog hooks of all time. Shared on the Overwatch Anonymous Twitter account, this clip shows Doomfist dying to Roadhog due to aglitch on the Hollywood map inOverwatch 2. In the clip, Roadhog hooks Doomfist, only for both tanks, as well as the payload car, to be teleported to the end of the map, with Doomfist dying suddenly a few seconds later. However, Roadhog’s perspective instead shows Doomfist teleported a few feet away from him onto the payload, prompting Roadhog to walk up and kill him.
Roadhog’s Hook in OW2 Has a Complex Script
It is hard to tell exactly what happened in this bizarre and hilariousOverwatch 2clip. The play would be wild enough if Doomfist was simplyteleported elsewhere on theOverwatch 2map, but the fact that both players seemingly saw the characters in two places at once defies most explanations for how it happened, leaving fans both laughing and scratching their heads.
FormerOverwatch 2senior narrative designer Justin Groot saw the clip and weighed in on his personal Twitter as well. He likened the “legendary” coding script for Roadhog’s hook to “every subway map in the world layered on top of itself,” and said that “a butterfly flaps its wings in that script and you get this scenario 2,000 visual scripting nodes away.” With so many moving parts at once, it isn’t hard to imagine howcrazyOverwatch 2glitcheslike this can pop up from time to time.
Either way, with over hundreds of comments and thousands of reposts and likes within a day of the post, it is clearOverwatch 2fans got a kick out of this gameplay clip. Players likened the reality-altering ability toDomain Expansions fromJujutsu Kaisenor the wild powers fromJojo’s Bizarre Adventure, claiming Roadhog hooked Doomfist into an alternate universe. Others tried to figure out how the strange bug happened, while others still took the opportunity to criticize Blizzard, claiming a company of its size should be able to prevent glitches like this. Either way, it is clear fans won’t forget this legendary play soon, even if they don’t fully understand how it happened in the first place.
