Overwatch 2 Bug Continues to Spawn Players on Different Maps

Bugs popping up randomly in Overwatch 2 have become almost expected. One recently spotted bug is amusing and highly disruptive, as it teleports random players away from their team and places them on a completely different map. Let’s dive into the details below.

Overwatch 2 Bug Continues to Spawn Players on Different Maps

In a recent post on the Overwatch subreddit, a player encountered a frustrating bug during a competitive match that led to some unlucky and hilarious results. In the clip, the player—playing as Zarya - unexpectedly spawned in a completely different area of the Busan map.

While the rest of the team spawned Downtown, Zarya found herself over in Sanctuary, which, though still part of Busan, is an entirely separate map section.

The Overwatch community responded with humor to the unusual situation, with comments like "Bro, where is our tank? You’re throwing" and "Meanwhile, the tank…” Other popular comments included "Now THIS is a tank gap” and "Why did my whole team DC?” poking fun at the frequent tendency to blame tanks when things go wrong.

Despite the lighthearted reactions, this bug is game-breaking, as the only way to fix it was for the player to eliminate themselves to respawn in the correct location - hardly an ideal solution, as it delays the team’s tank and can make a critical difference between winning and losing.

Many players pointed out that this issue has recurred since the original Overwatch and has affected others in the community, sparking hope that Blizzard will finally address this longstanding bug to improve the Overwatch 2 experience.
