What's different about Bastion in Overwatch 2?
Bastion is a character from the original Overwatch that will receive a rework in Overwatch 2.
The damage hero started in Overwatch as a divisive robot that walked a thin line between overpowered menace and unplayable dolt. Fans are hoping the changes coming to the sequel will do Bastion justice.
Aside from sporting a baseball cap and looking like a newer model straight off the factory line, Bastion will have some of its abilities tweaked along with a couple of brand new ones.
In the first Overwatch game, Bastion players typically used him as a damage-dealing hero from afar. His turret mode would see him set behind cover without much mobility.
The fresh start in Overwatch 2 adds a lot more mobility, and it seems like players will have a ton more fun with the robot than ever before. Here is what Bastion will be capable of in the sequel:
The biggest change is the addition of mobility. Damage players throughout Overwatch 2 will be quicker, and Bastion will be able to move while in its alternate firing mode.
When it comes to the standard firing ability, Bastion will fire it with no spread. It comes with a reduced fire rate, but the accuracy gives the robot more capabilities with long-range or short-range roles.
As Overwatch 2 moves through its beta period, players will have plenty of chances to try out the new and improved Bastion to form their opinion. It seems like these changes are for the better, but that will need to be seen in its entirety.
