THIS PVE Overwatch 2 Mission Took Us 3 Days To Complete On Legendary 

I love how in their early reveals they said how higher difficulty wouldnt just be more health and more damage, but adding abilities. Crazy how it turned out to just be more health and more damage.

So my theory behind why this was so difficult was that the dev team originally intended the players to have stronger attributes and abilities due to the Talents system and Skill Tree. But once that was nixed, they reverted the heroes back to just their base kit (no additional items or new special abilities) and tuned them to be just stronger versions of themselves. Certain enemies were designed with the PvE to have the talent tree in mind is what I'm thinking. They didn't really correct that, so it genuinely feels harder since you're basically just a level 1 hero fighting in a level 50-60 dungeon, and the only way to win is with specific heroes and just ticking away at their health. The PvE doesn't seem to be forgiving in using different team rollouts, which sucks. I bet with the Talents in mind, you could've seen so many teams with cool dynamics in how they approach these missions. You'll NEVER get that now.

I really think all heroes should be available to play after you complete the mission for the first time. It would add so much more variety. Plus, the Archives events should be added in as well. These missions are practically Archives events anyway so why not?

Seeing them all grouped up just really makes me want to see a raid type game mode with a player for each character on the roster

You know what would be awesome? A complex raid mission, kind of Destiny 2 style, where the mechanics are more complex and hard to figure out. And then tie a whole bunch of exclusive cosmetics to it for incentive to play. I think that would be amazing

7:19 was super frustrating having "invisible" chickens land underneath the ramp after booping off and they continue to damage

In the roles we filled It took me (diamond), a masters player, a plat, and a silver 9 hours to complete legendary difficulty. Their version of replayability is simply making it impossible......

I love thinking about stuff from an in-universe perspective. Imagine a world where robots are terrorizing cities and generally causing lots of destruction. An old group of heroes show up in order to take them out, then after stopping the threat, they decide the most important thing they can do is fight each other over pushing 2 walls around a city to accomplish nothing.

I really like the last sequence of this mission. The non-stop feel of it and the music is really great.

“I like that It’s hard but I don’t like the *way* that it’s hard.” It’s sad that it turned out this way honestly. There’s fun difficulty where enemies have interesting abilities or certain behaviors. But then there’s un-fun, tedious difficulty when enemies get unfair abilities or have their health jacked up to the max. Seems like they leaned towards the latter rather than the former.

yeah if echo is available you've gotta take her for these, between focusing beam and her relatively fast ult charges she's becomes a must just for legendary alone

Mad respect to you four, I was there day one watching the trials and errors and to see the final result? Good on you all.

Tip. If the slicers glitch in to the ship, use your sojourn AoE to kill them!

The opening cinematic gave me strong Subspace Emissary vibes. I half expected the screen to freeze and the player 1 selection to appear.

More enemies, less giant health pools. Exactly how I want every game to be when it comes to difficulty.

16:30 yeah, there is. Jay3 for example beat all 4 missions in one stream that went on for 13 hours and also included the Patch notes stuff

I find it so interesting that despite having a final boss the Rio mission is the easiest on legendary. I feel like the massive horde they throw at you in the final mission was meant to be carried by Bastion but they reworked him and didn’t go back to change much

I found the last mission to be the hardest on higher difficulties

this makes me want a game mode where each team is big enough to fit one of each hero on the roster so the entire cast can duke it out against themselves on one huge map

Thank you for playing and enduring pain so I can admire from a safe distance

Legendary just shows and proves how much communication you need to complete it

I wonder if the higher difficulty now is the same as when there were still plans for skill trees.

They could’ve given the bots varying speeds, an enraged mode, unique variants of the same enemy type, greater hordes, or anything really to up the difficulty. No, it’s just give bot big hp. Glad all the years it took to hype up PvE resulted in something so creative. Great work blizz, it’s certainly one of the PvE games of all time.

Seeing this live was amazing, you guys did great

I feel like raids would be tremendously popular in this game. It's a damn shame that Blizzard will never let overwatch reach it's potential smh.

'Overwatch was shut down for a reason', Sojourn said. 'For the glory of Battle Passes and MTX!', Bobby K responded.

It sounds like you'd like Deep Rock Galactic tbh. Tons of moderate health enemies, with some big tanky boys mixed in, fliers, emplaced bugs, etc. It's got everything you'd want in a movement shooter and I'd love to see this group of 4 taking on Hoxxes!

4:38 me when I’m tryna do a challenge but it’s on legendary difficulty

You guys made this seem much easier than it is, awesome gameplay, thank you

A friend and I have been trying this for ages. It feels impossible but, we both really want the title for completing all three on legendary. Doesn't help the randoms we get pick kind of bad heroes for the mission.

Did a splicer get stuck in the door for them too?

"Overwatch was shut down for a reason, its time to move on" Yeah nice try blizzard

Isn't this also the mission that is/was bugged? So the Bots could Clip into the ship and slowly damage it and there was nothing you could do about it.

Does anyone if melee counts as boop? It did in the Archives missions with the assassins, but they removed the melee's ability to get environmentals in OW2 (but not its actual knockback). If it was able to, that would kinda remove the need for Lucio/Dva, you could probably do Bap for more sustain plus lamp and window, and maybe a different tank, since you can just tap the subjugators to cancel them.

I like how they made thoes 2 massive areas in Havana and Rialto and didn't even use them. Sure theres still the other waves of pve missions but you'd really expect them to use the ones they already had done for months

Also I’m not sure why other supports aren’t as viable in this mission. I also resorted to Lucio, his boops were the only reason we were able to continue.

Me watching the first cutscene: why can't my sojourn do that?

it would be kinda cool if they used this pve to introduce a character but then we get into the realm of ptw with characters and idk if thats smart

glad i'm not the only one who struggled with this mission

When sojourn said “Overwatch was shut down for a reason, it’s time to move on” I’ll remember that when the servers die because of the devs in the future :(

you guys are absolute mad lads; the continuation of bothering to continue trying, and actually succeeding to finish it on Legendary.

I hate how the slicers phase into the cargo ship doors and you have to punch them to death because you cant shoot through the door itself. Played liberation trying to beat legendary mode at least over 100 times and most of the time we lose to that stupid ass bug. Tedious

Things that would actually make this harder AND fun: Extra wave of civvies in the first section Faster movespeed/suck speed for the subjugators Additional npc to protect vs subjugators Less downtime between ai attacks Conditional AI (push you when your at low hp/ in danger, group up before attacking etc) Health pack respawn time increases More penalties for enemies hitting you (e.g flyers applying a slow) What we got: Enemies with more hp and health.

I love how Flats has him as Rein in the thumbnail and we proceed to not get Rein lol

"This next part will be difficult" "WHAT!?!?!" 💀

Hardest mission by far on legendary

1:43 be sounding like the Avengers theme

1:49 i 100% heard winton

It's funny the other 2 are cake walks on legendary but this one makes you rethink life

Blizzard: pay us for content that used to be free Me: I don't think I will. Proceeds to watch Flats for free.

I hope they introduce hanzo to the overwatch team by them looking terifeyed at one big ass null sector ship, just for a big ass dragon rushing at it destroying it

That first part in Toronto was way more difficult than it needed to be. Those slicers were annoying on expert. Not trying on legendary. 😩

For my group the winning comp was Rein, Echo, (Soj), Brig. Rein can shatter charge the beginning Artillery and later on charge an Elite Nulltrooper off map too; additionally, the swing AOE is also really nice. Echo just doing so much damage and duping in situations needed is too hard to pass up, especially with her dupe ult gen buff. Brig just plays lots of chess with Null Sector special units, like Subs and Stalks since any of her offensive abilities stagger them. This comp made the Subjugator sections pretty trivial in my experience, would recommend communication definitely.

dude... it took me forever.... the combo that won was a Lucio, DVA, Echo, Soj. I practically lost my mind when I won with randoms🤣

my friend was like ah yeah we should do this with randoms and get it done im glad i found this cause if it took 4 compitent players 3 days to do this one mission i dread how long it will take with randoms XD (and us we arnt the best either ahha)

Gonna be honest... If they made a raid boss style mission where there is a player for every hero in the overwatch team fighting through a map together... THAT would be worth the $20ish they are asking for...

They should make a rouge-like game mode.

id love to get invested in the lore but blizzard makes it impossible

I love how blizzard hinting in the last cutscene about how overwatch 1 failed LOL

I don't even get people in my missions, I only have AI's in my team💀

I kept losing because there was always a slicer behind the ship. Leave it to blizzard to fail to code solid fucking walls

Those omnics need a reboot cause they can’t aim 💀

So yesterday I beat the Reggie section, but then the game bugged out and there was ONE enemy stuck in the wall or ceiling, and so the game kicked us for inactivity :/

Idk, but it seems kinda lfd2 ish great game and I’m excited to see more of my favorite streamers play more of my favorite game.

This would be a 10/10 movie, and a 7,5/10 game if it was free to play But since it's a 15$ game i give it a 3/10

Wow! Look at the end of mission unlock for completing legendary mode! Such cool cosmetics! And even a player badge on your player profile, such an awesome idea! Talk about that secret cut screen too, what a lore drop! Blizzard is back on top with their player rewards! I’m sure that you all feel really accomplished by beating some of the hardest pve Overwatch 2 has to offer

Yeah this mission is a pain in the ass. I still haven’t finished it. I got to the very very end with the team of DVA, Pharah, Mercy, and Sojourn obviously. We were so incredibly close to finishing the mission that the Subjugators got them at the very very last second before they got onto the ship. It was soooo bullshit

3 last days playing that mission too

The fact that they brute forced this comp and still won shows how good they are even still. Winston and Brigitte are far better picks.

I love the Animations

An escort mission where the escorted AI will just plop their asses in the middle of everything in wide open areas because they’re only programmed to go in a straight line. What in the 2000s AI is this?!

Gothenburg on legendary is almost impossible bro

6:27 wait... those are watchers, from Horizon

Hard to believe all of this is under Queen Station!

Seeing Emongg boop the Screaming Banshee Bish on stream made me realize they can be interuppted and made Legendary so much easier for me. That said, I ain't beat it yet lmao

Ok well I solo qued the first 2 invasion maps pretty easily.... IronClad feels like legendary+. Ending is far too perfect gameplay

It took me 2 whole days just to beat one legendary mission 😭

i think they're hinting at overwatch ending in the story the game is dying, they know it, and they're gonna make it canon

This is way too hard for no reason

question to the people who were on stream: did they watch the cutscenes every time?

At least you beat it

Can't wait to see Genji 1v3 to save Zen.

I’ll admit the line where Lucio said that they were getting paid in exposure was pretty funny but ironic coming from activision

So THIS is what they meant by “replayability” 😂

I wish these story maps were free

So many things could have been done. Including make super rare skin drops for beating the missions on Legendary mode or higher drop rates on said skins based on difficulty. But no the went the mind numbing route and produced the most boring/shortest campaign missions ever. One single dev could of program this in one single month. They took three years for this. Let that be a reminder. I love the game, but this is inexcusable.

yeah, doubling/tripling the enemies with small health/damage boost will better. I'm grateful for flats and other content creator playing this since I just won't give any pennies to blizz

Is there a post anywhere that details what all the changes specifically for PVE are, I.E. Lucio speed boost also amping attack speed?

We need overwatch firefight!

Blizzard took inspiration from Day One Last Wish for this difficulty scaling

Coffee, ticket, coffee, coffee & yes u can just leave on dropship instead of finshin off the lat arti + adds

I might rejoin the game if these remain available and new ones come out every other month

Kinda excited for the gothenburg mission

Escort the VIP missions are fun aren't they lmao

Can someone help with this? I'm a support main. People keep letting the omnics die or taking too much damage and die. The furthest I get is to that area where you have to protect the 2 omnics.

bro is whipping out D2 gm strats for this one

So... Do we know anything about the end goal of these missions? Like are they just a narrative that'll never actually be concluded?

What's the timeline of the events like in Overwatch? Did Mei just finish walking back from the Arctic base only to reach Toronto and face the invasion? lol

I struggled with it until I sat down and realized that speed lucio only healing on amp, sojourn that only shoots legs, echo who flexes, and Winston for damage/boops obliterate. Took me and the gang one try

They want Torborne's help? The one who views Omnics as "just machines" the most out of any character??
