Overwatch Patch 2.93 – Sigma finally gets a foothold

Patch 2.93 is here and it has a lot in store: Sigma is finally taking root, Overwatch cities and lands are now available, and more Quality-of-Life changes are coming to Overwatch.

Overwatch has been focusing heavily on Quality-of-Life changes lately. The look and overall experience of career profiles has been completely redesigned, and they have been streamlined and made clearer for player navigation. Patch 2.93 includes a new challenge to complete, new sprays to unlock, and much more. Let’s dive into the Overwatch life. Music Maestro!

Sigma’s Maestro Challenge

Overwatch players can experience something really special in patch 2.93: Sigma is finally wearing a pair of shoes. He has shoes in his Talon skin, but we assume they were provided to him. This skin pays homage to many of his voice lines in the game, and we couldn’t be happier to see him with some hair. Or is that a wig?

From July 14-27, 2020, you can play, watch, and earn epic rewards in Sigma’s Symphony, which includes the Maestro Sigma skin. So how do you unlock the crazy musical Maestro?

  • Win 3 games = Maestro player icon.
  • Win 6 games = Legendary Maestro Sigma emote.
  • Win 9 games = Legendary Maestro Sigma skin.
  • Note: The wins must be achieved in the Bell Game, Weighted Mode, or an Arcade Game.

The Maestro Sigma skin is very well done, especially for a free skin. It would be great if Overwatch themed this skin around another design line and made it based on Sigma. Anyone want to play Bowtie Winston?

But enough about playing, what about watching? If you log on to Twitch and watch participating Overwatch players, you can grab some really cool sprays:

  • Watch 2 hours =Sigma Meastro Spray
  • Watch 4 hours =Moira – Fiddle and Symmetra – Sitar Spray.
  • Watch 6 hours = Lucio – Bossa Nova, Mei – Guzheng, and Orisa – Djembe Sprays.

We highly recommend completing this challenge, especially for the free legendary skin. Overwatch has hosted these types of events before, but of course they are always a welcome addition to our skin collections.

Overwatch cities and countries

Overwatch has released a pretty interesting music album for players! Overwatch: Cities & Lands features the themes of Overwatch maps and missions. The 42-minute album has 24 tracks and makes the Sigma event extra special! You can listen to the Cities & Countries album on various streaming platforms – taking Overwatch with you wherever you go! A great gesture, Blizzard. Our favorite is Rialto.

General Updates
As mentioned earlier, there have been some changes to the career profile. In case you don’t visit there too often, here are the improvements:

Game mode playtime has been added to the overview section, so you can see exactly how much time you’ve spent in modes like ranked or one of the community’s creative workshop modes.
Stats are displayed in tabular form, separated by “Average / 10 min”, “Best”, “Total”, which makes for a clearer, more readable view.
In-game achievements are grouped by category and can be filtered by what you have already earned and have yet to unlock.
Player icons are now grouped by category and can be filtered by hero and ownership status.
Overwatch has also fixed some bugs, of course – we’ve got the list from patch 2.93 for you as well:

Ashe

Fixed a bug where the Viper could cut the camera when Ashe jumped and shot while aiming down.
Doomfist

Fixed a bug that allowed Doomfist to use a wall in Junkertown when using a gesture.
D.Va

Fixed a bug where D.Va’s Micro Missiles were not affected by damage boost abilities.
Genji

Fixed a bug where the Distract sound effect did not match the duration of the ability.
Fixed a bug that caused the Genji to take projectile damage during a deflection maneuver if he got too close to an enemy.
Hanzo

Fixed a bug where Sonic Arrow would not allow visibility through walls when distracted by Genji.
Wrecking Ball

Fixed a bug where Wrecking Ball could use the grappling claw without turning into ball form.
Fixed a bug that could cause some mines to get stuck in the Anubis Temple terrain.
Overwatch patch 2.93 includes many improvement to the overall quality of the game, a new career profile page, and some much-needed bug fixes, especially for Wrecking Ball. We love the Sigma Maestro Challange and believe this is a tune we can all dance to. Curtain up, please! You’ve been a wonderful audience while reading this patch note discussion and now go get those skins!

Overwatch

Overwatch is a computer game by Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo 3, World of Warcraft) and a first-person shooter with individual fantasy elements. The game was released in May 2016.

In Overwatch, the player must choose between 21 unique characters, which can be freely selected in a loosely held classification system (offensive and defensive class, unit and tanks).

A character’s three to four different abilities can be controlled and activated through the mouse and keyboard. The game modes already vary from scoring points to cargo hauling. Team play is required in both modes, as each character takes on a specific role in the battlefield (e.g. heal teammates, provide backup, or secure defensive lines).

The name Overwatch derives itself from a fictional elite military unit that came together when robots tried to subjugate humanity in a near future. Individual characters are associated with this unit in the game, while others oppose it. It is not yet known whether the storyline will continue in multiplayer.

Brawl

Brawl is a game mode in which time-limited rule variations of the well-known modes are drawn. Sometimes completely new game modes are used in Brawls.

Rule variations include, for example, the restriction to certain heroes or classes, changes to the cool-down times or certain cards. New game modes that have been playable so far include a soccer game and a PvE mode.

Usually, Brawls are restarted as Brawl of the Week every Tuesday at 22:00 UTC and are then playable for a week. On certain occasions, such as – Season al events, Brawls may also be playable for a longer or shorter period of time.

The game mode is comparable to the card chaos from Hearthstone and was activated for the first time in the beta phase on March 22, 2016 through a patch.
