So We Tried The Free PVE Overwatch 2 Mission Underworld 

Friendly reminder guys the original idea of PvE was scraped by greedy higher-ups at Blizz and not by ppl that work on OW2.

The only cool thing about the PvE and story missions is that you can shoot limbs and different parts of the robots bodies to cause different affects. So you can shoot the guns off the artillery omnics or the legs off breachers to make them not shoot or not move. You can see it, when that part of their body glows or highlights white. Otherwise this is essentially what we have for archives and the previous PvE missions we had before

Nailed it with that take on the PVE at the end. It's more brute forcing difficulty, instead of interesting and strategic combat. I think the 1 boss that exists across the 3 missions has 1 mechanic "make him ram into the power cell" which is wildly basic. There's so much potential, and they've done a LOT of really cool things with it, but in the end the repeat value is less because what makes you need to come back are completing it on all the heroes (annoying when they lock you out of all options other than Sojourn on Toronto when someone else picks a DPS) and somehow being able to withstand the onslaught with Lucio as your only healer in 2 of the 4 maps. The bots they programmed for when you don't have a full team are really impressive until they're not: they don't rez players, they don't take actions sometimes for unknown reasons, they stand in incoming damage zones, etc. It's fun, I'm glad it's here, but sad because it could be better. Also, wtf give us the Archives missions back already lol

I was thinking the same thing: the mobs have too much HP. The difficulty needs to be similar to the old events: fast to kill mobs but they deal lots of damage. Those felt more fun than just shooting a single bot for 2 minutes

Fun fact: iggy the robot is actually from the overwatch tracer comics!

Flats hits the fastest pulse bombs.

Flats, video game 101: shoot the glowy bits! Like the legs on breachers. You can kill em a lot quicker if you hit certain parts, they fall and die rather than having to go through all their HP and armor.

It makes me feel a lot better that even top 500 players are having such a hard time with these missions on the harder difficulties. I have beat other pve modes on OW at the hardest difficulties, and I thought I had just got really bad at the game because these new missions seemed so hard lol

One thing I dont like is if you have a leaver mid game, no other player will replace it and you'll be left with a very useless bot. They literally ult as soon as ult charge is full On the other hand, it is bizarre and hilarious to see the bots soloulting random shit around the map. Got a Winston ulting an empty-no enemies point, and buddy spent the whole primal deathstaring me 👁️👁️

"Annoying hard" sounds about right. Looks like the enemies are all damage sponges.

this made me feel better about failing my legendary attempt 😂❤ did easy on the first, hard on the second, etc and got BLASTED in underworld 😭

I haven't played the missions at all, but it feels like the different enemies don't really force you to change up how you play much. The solution to every enemy is to just spam bullets and it doesn't feel like there's any tricks or techs to counter them or avoid damage. I think that's why it's annoying hard and not engaging hard- there's very little reward for improving beyond dying a bit less.

i didnt find the pve hard but i did find that certain parts of it went on way to long and it just became tedious and boring

Flats threw that first round, playing no ult challenge while his team dies around him.

Anyone else sad that the OG archives missions aren’t playable? I hope they add them and the cut scenes that came along with retribution and storm rising too

You know what would make the difficulty fun, talent, skill trees

I wonder if the those flying things will be the new reworked sombr😱

I really liked this free mission. It was really fun. I wonder what the changes are gonna be since there’s a weekly thing for it. Hopefully different heroes.

After at least 50 attempts, I was able to complete legendary with randoms.

I love overwatch and the missions. But damn i have to say it does suck from what we got and what we got promised. Just hope future missions are really good

I wish flats would shoot the destructible white bits so break off arms/legs

Even 4 streamers can't make this shit interesting

It was fun seeing the genuine first reactions of the players :D I somehow watched the other pve recaps before this, so for those, the glamor & excitement of playing a new map has definitely worn away by the time they finally finish the mode lol

Without achievements, I don’t see myself playing more than the once I did on normal.

The first time I played this mission my team fucking left me to solo the Orisa at the end. It was B U L L S H I T cuz I was playing Torb

Absolutely brilliant!!

"Slightly better than the worst Archives mission" was *not* worth the 3 year wait tbh

just a random tip if you're grabbing the heavy battery as tracer spam drop it to move way faster like youre playing CTF or something and never plant the the battery in the open, the amount of times i've seen people die while rezzing or planting when they couldve broken LOS so easily is crazy

You start from the underground station and work your way towards a payload that you have to defend waves of enemies off of while it repairs itself, then make your way to the omnium with the payload to fight Orisa as a final boss. Getting massive deja vu here. Altho difference is you needed the payload in uprising to blow a way into the omnium, here the TS-1 actually has nothing to do with the mission itself and is only there to provide firepower. If it dies in the omnium even before you get to the hacking terminal, the mission doesnt end in failure. So all that effort to protect it while it repairs is essentially for nothing.

I belong to the silent team but I needed to post this comment. I love watching you, being always calm, always positive. You never miss to make my day. Thanks a lot, you're a great human :)

I really hope in the future they add back pick ups from the original PvE vision, because that would have made it so much more interesting. I think part of the reason Rio felt so odd with just the lucio is because originally you had that like soldier 76 biotic healing station thing from the old Rio gameplay that you could pick up and place, meaning lucio wasn't the only one healing. Also hope they learn on difficulty in the future, they went the Destiny2 route where enemies just get healthier and do more dmg, they should have just made the base units spawn less and spawn more Elite Troopers, and maybe special Slicers that only attack the player, or a grabber bot that latches onto a player and has to be melee'd off like the Talon assassin. So much potential that I hope their hiatus they said that would be between this set of missions and the next they pick up on this kinda stuff. Also I really wish they would just add an all heroes mode for underworld, like literally underworld's base gameplay was shown back in the old PvE dev stream, so they probably have the other mode types still there too, so I hope underworld type modes come out in between large PvE chapter releases Thats all, love you all Flats fans and Flats too

I've been THOUROUGHLY enjoying the PvE missions on legendary! You still have to play like its normal OW, taking cover and applying your character in a more effective way, not to mention that there are ways to attack each type of robot, the default troopers, you wanna aim for their heads, because then they can only fire randomly in all directions, for breachers, breaking their legs as a team to kill them instantly is fun as hell. Say what you will about the PvE and what it "could have been", I think what we got is actually quite fun.

I can't wait to see someone recreate this in Custom Games like with Mischief & Magic P.S. if somebody does that, please send me the code

I don't think Blizzard know the difference between enemy level of difficulty and bullet sponges. 😂 Given i do like the content.

The bots have S O M U C H H E A L T H in high difficulties 😭💀

Man I need to have the energy to want to play ow2 like these guys do

Oh look, they added sentry busters from Man vs Machine.

5:05 that laugh makes me laugh 😭😭😭

Nice vid flats

For this mission on legendary you gotta either play as a team with your friends or get lucky and have good mates which actually understand that they are possible one shot

Geez these enemies are super bullet spongy.

I hate how people dont understand how difficulty is suppposed to work. Me example: In cuphead when you use simple difficulty It skips some phases and reduces the amount of damage needed and reduces attack speed and attacks on the whole On normale:well its normal With Expert:Sometimes there is extra phases.More attacks intersecting each other.More stuff covering your screen.The boss has more health more damage and etc. In overwatch pve you know what they did? Just increase hp literally just hp more hp and more hp so basically your playing the same thing with more HP

Morning Flats and Friends!

was that a sentry buster at 7:52...?!?!?!

I feel like that stage of Underworld could have been so much more fun and interesting if all the batteries spawned in from the beginning but were guarded by enemies. Would force you to strategize more and increase the value of replayability

TIL how the mission looks with max(?) graphic settings, I litrally didn't have the fog nor the scattering lights. Or is it a legendary thing?

So is it just the 3 missions or are more going to get unlocked as this story progresses

Question: do we know if the Save-A-Mari achievement for Resistance was fixed yet or being worked on?

My first take on the overwatch 2 PvE was "I'm not paying $25 to get what was promised when they took away the original game I paid for", decided to try the free PvE, did it first go on legendary, thought to myself after the content spanned all of 10 minutes, "that's it?" then closed the game, never to open again

Being hero locked in such a difficult mission is just annoying

accurate london slander

I went torn and only used the hammer. 100% recommend

Okay but the TS1 tag mission is not working ? Or I’m not understanding what to do

13:10 amazing teamwork flats and emongg

God, Underworld is like a gutted version of the Story Missions, which is already a gutted version of what it used to be when it was first revealed The development of this game has been really sad to follow. More power to those who are still enjoying it, but the state of this game has really been... I don't even know anymore

Just finished on legendary last half is so much easier

i agree its way to hard, completed expert yesterday after 3 full tries with different people each time, it was brutal, we just barely beat it. way to hard, i dont even want to think about what legendary difficulty is like lol

Why aren't all the heroes available for these missions?

Would've been fine with a handful of these missions every season + the hero skill trees and occasional big story campaign mission as the full pve experience. These missions are pretty fun and the skill trees would have pushed replayability very high especially if you could swap in other heroes.

indeed its so hard

😂😂😂😂😂13:11 Oops randomly button 😅👍I will say this because the larger the city will be difficult to keep it so easy or nomano, but you don't need to be high or very high, why 😅😂😂😅🤔

23:55 ayo😮

Meanwhile my casual ass just sidestepping their attacks as torb and dinkin em in the noggin. Also I don’t think they know that the white highlighted parts are breakable when they shoot an enemy.

why didnt we get comp points this season?

Wait, all the PvE isn't free. I didn't know cause I haven't played the new season yet.

Emong fuckin shit up at 13:13.

im so fucking mad with overwatch rn, an entire event and all i can play is one mission, then i wait for days for another, and then they go away, and i miss out on content cause i cant fucking pay for it, wtf overwatch

Are we sure this is pve or a compilation of jay3 pulses 🤣

Underworld felt kinda slow and stale to me compared to the Archives stuff. I'll give the rest of it a chance though.

its not like a destiny 2 raid type of difficulty

Yeah, that level of difficulty doesn't seem to rely on skill, more just turning the enemies into bullet sponges. Doesn't look very fun or replayable. :/

If I now tell you that was the easiest part of the mission xD

I have beat it on legendary a couple times and it was kind of just annoying that they are all giga tanks instead of more enemies incoming. Same with the story missions but those at least felt a little more thought out but still seem to be lacking a little bit. Not too bad for $5 though imo.

tank not needed

i hate the new game mode. First of all they lied abozut the storie missions, talent trees and stuff, than they want to give us the same stuff just worse so the community isnt angry and now the new game missions are not free to play. So in total they scammed us with Overwatch 2 because the storie missions they promised us are not the way they should be and also they are not free and worse with less content. Blizzard as a company is dead for me

His game is just falling faster and faster the devs cant even make proper adjustments to caracters

The fact that there still aren't checkpoints so you just get reset entirely is SO demented 1997 lion king sega genesis sadistic babes

Vultures have WAY TOO MUCH HP. They should be a difficult as a Heavy Jumpjet, not take as much time to focus down like the Artillery.

I beat expert with randos, but you guys didn't manage to beat leg? what sorta difficulty scaling is that??

The problem with the pve there is the enemies are bullet sponges and your ultimates take to long to build up. So you just sit there pumping damage into enemies and doing next to nothing. But the only real fix for that now. Is pve specific balances. That only effect pve. Or call me crazy. These things call skill trees.

Do yall not understand you can destroy limbs and weapons to disable or deal extra dmg? I figured that out 5 seconds into PVE 😂

I beat this mission

I love how this missions can show you how boosted some people are. Got a gm support (it was gm in support, i ckecked it) which as a high plat, low diamond i was kinda glad to have......we got stuck in that beach part on rio and the dude kept getting knocked down..in the end he left and the rest of us managed to get past it and win the mission. Bots at legendary may have a somewhat strong aimbot but aside from that they are not that big on gamesense...how can you be getting your ass handed to you that much by bots if you are supposedly used to face much stronger opponents? Was funny anyways.

I’m almost done with society and this game someone told me to kill myself because I was damage boosting a junkrat I told him to not tell someone to kill their self and some guy butts in and joins the other guys side and start molesting me with hate and harsh words. All for saying it’s very rude to tell someone to kill their self.

Glad I uninstalled before this blandness tempted me to spend 15$ on that shit. I just wanted a dope worthwhile campaign with good AI, level design, skill trees and story. Instead we get a scrapped drip-fed pile of mediocrity. Maybe if team4 had more resources the game wouldn’t suck so hard.

You are shooting the bots at the wrong place usually. They have weak points.

Les go

Dude there too freaking tanky it’s stupid

Wait, you really are stuck to these 4 heroes ? Why ?

No cap i will never play anything to do with the story of ow i just don't care about pve anymore lost interest after all the lying and waiting for ow2 its sad i feel this way i used to love this game unconditionally

I'll take 3 min gang

Friendly reminder, guys: You can switch the difficulty to expert

Blizz is now at the point where they are too big to succeed.

23:51 I mean you're the one who plays on the highest difficulty, not sure what did you expect

Does he respond??

Overwatch 2 PVE can be saved! I know how to fix it, add daily and weekly challenges to PVE that can reward you with 60 coins. So each week you can earn 120 coins for doing both weekly sets and almost 2 free battle pass levels for doing both daily sets each day. Also another good thing they should add is random missions that pop up on the global map screen daily or weekly. They can reward you with xp or classic credits.

Bullet sponges suck

literally just the archive missions. sit in one spot for 10+ minutes, repeat the process multiple times. this is so bad.

20:52 WOW THAT LOOKS SO FUN TO PLAY BLIZZARD HERE'S MY MONEY .... siiiiiiiiiiiiike I'd rather licherally set it on fire at this point

I found it disappointing now that you have to pay for things in the game now, like really to play the different missions?😭
