Overwatch 2 Retail Patch Notes – April 16, 2024 Check out the latest patch notes for Overwatch 2! Limited-Time Mode: Clash Trial Clash is an upcoming core game mode in Overwatch 2. Teams must battle back and forth over 5 capture points, with each captured objective adding a point to the prevailing team's score. Teams can win in two ways: either by having control of all five objectives at once, or by scoring five points total before the other team. Clash will be available as a limited-time trial through April 29. How Clash is played • Five total objectives placed in a linear pattern on a mirrored map. • Only one objective is active at a time. • Matches start with the center objective active. • Players capture an objective by standing on it and filling in a progress bar. Capture progress cannot be made if enemy players are contesting the objective. • When a team captures the current objective, they are awarded one point to their total score and a new objective moving forward from the scoring team’s side is activated. • Objectives can be secured multiple times. If a team is pushed off an objective and the other team successfully captures it, the next active point will be in the opposite direction. Win Conditions Complete one of these conditions to win the match: • A team has successfully captured five objectives throughout the match to reach a total score of five. • Regardless of score, a team manages to take the final objective (A or E) on the opponents’ side.
