Description of Overwatch Update 1.35.0.1 from 16.04.2019/XNUMX/XNUMX
NEW IN UPDATE
NEW SEASONAL EVENT: OVERWATCH ARCHIVES 2019
In the Overwatch Archives event, you'll be part of a pivotal moment in the organization's history! Overwatch agents are sent to Havana, the capital of Cuba, where they are in hot pursuit of Maximilien, a well-known businessman and ally of the Claw. Together with your friends, you will have to capture and interrogate him: what Maximilian knows, the future of Overwatch can change. You can also relive the past events of the Archives: fight against numerous Talon agents during the escape from Rialto and stop the Omnic uprising on Kings Row. And in the process, you'll receive archive containers of cosmetic items from Overwatch's past, including legendary skins McCree's Outlaw, Moira the Scientist, Baptiste's Talon, Ash's Socialite, and more!
HERO CHANGES
Junkrat
Developer comment: With this change, we want to slightly increase the distance Junkrat can land direct hits. Grenades will now travel faster, but their trajectory will not change, so players won't have to re-learn how to aim. In this case, the projectiles will bounce less and explode earlier, which will make it easier to hit the target. Junkrat's opponents will also encounter masses of rolling grenades less often.
Grenade launcher
- Projectile speed increased from 20 to 25.
- Grenades now bounce less, but explode earlier.
REAPER
Developer comment: Shadowstep was originally conceived as a battlefield-only move ability, which is unsuitable for use in combat, as Reaper already has a great escape ability, Incorporeality. However, this made Shadowstep extremely niche, and we decided to increase the flexibility of this ability. Reaper will now be able to cast Shadowstep in more combat situations.
STEP THROUGH THE SHADOW
- Ability cooldown reduced from 7 to 6 seconds.
- Can now be cast in the air.
- Shadowstep exit time reduced from 1 to 0,5 seconds.
- Reaper now stays invisible while exiting Shadowstep.
- Railings and other destructible objects will no longer block teleportation.
- Can be disabled by Zarya's Graviton Pulse and Junkrat's Trap.
SYMMETRA
TELEPORTER
- Railings and other destructible objects will no longer block teleport placement and use.
USER INTERFACE CHANGES

Communication
- Now you can make your profile visible only to your current group.
