Overwatch bug makes Retribution baddies playable in-game

A new Overwatch bug has opened up Retribution baddies to the game at large, causing ridiculous problems for those up against them.

In particular, the Talon Heavy Assault character, a beast of a character with a mini gatling gun and a huge hit point pool, is mopping up normal heroes and villians in Overwatch play.

It’s not just Retribution baddies that are being used — clips have shown Uprising’s Null Sector baddies in matches alongside Junkrat’s RIP Tire.

While users are taking to Reddit to complain about the bug, no one’s offering a way to do it (thankfully?). We’re awaiting comment from Blizzard on the matter.

This bug may cause huge issues in Overwatch‘s new 6v6 Elimination Competitive mode, available now alongside the special PvE Retribution event.

Overwatch is available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
