Overwatch’s Charming 76 pores and skin bug makes Soldier nearly unattainable to hit

They are saying appeal can get you wherever in life, and in Overwatch’s case, that apparently means saving you from bullets, too. Blizzard launched its annual batch of Loverwatch skins final week, a set of Valentine’s Day-themed outfits for a handful of characters, and Soldier: 76’s “Charming 76” pores and skin is making him nearly unattainable to kill. Generally.

A smattering of posts exhibiting Soldier: 76 within the Prince Charming pores and skin began showing over the weekend, or extra precisely, they confirmed a part of him. You could possibly see his head and cape — and that was it. Up shut, all was appropriately, however as quickly as Soldier moved roughly 20 meters away from a participant, the remainder of him vanished. That is an issue when you’re on the opposing staff and check out touchdown a shot wherever apart from his head. The sport nonetheless registers physique photographs, if, y’know, you may truly hit him.

The reviews solely confirmed the difficulty occurring in coaching and normal Overwatch modes, and when Polygon appeared into the matter, Soldier: 76 remained solely seen in third-person Stadium matches.

Skins and fashions have had a little bit of a tough go since Overwatch season 1 launched. A handful of victory poses, together with “snatched” Hanzo, make sure heroes look as in the event that they’d spent a lifetime in a Victorian corset, and Ana’s new Lunar New 12 months pores and skin sports activities a totally completely different shade scheme whenever you purchase it in comparison with the way it appears within the costume preview.

The reason for the Soldier: 76 glitch and whether or not it is confined to straightforward modes is unclear. Nevertheless, a Blizzard consultant advised Polygon through e-mail the staff is conscious of the difficulty and stated “will probably be addressed within the upcoming 2.21.0.2 patch subsequent Tuesday [Feb. 24].” Till then, perhaps stick with beam-wielding characters like Zarya, Mei, and Moira if you end up up towards the semi-invisible charmer. Who wants focused direct hits when you may simply hit every part?
