The Overwatch 2 Winter Wonderland patch has just gone live on PC, Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch consoles – and it rebalances Mauga yet again for his ranked introduction.

Blizzard has revamped its 2023 edition of Winter Wonderland with a new limited-time special Battle Pass that gives players the option to unlock even more skins through a “Winter Fair.”

The event also adds plenty of Christmas skins and other cosmetics for players to earn, but it’s getting some backlash, because you won’t be able to unlock everything, so be sure to check out all our coverage on Winter Wonderland.

On the balance side, Mauga is getting a series of changes. His health is being lowered by 100, but his armor is being increased to compensate.

Mauga is getting even more balance changes.

For his damage, Mauga will now need to land more Incendiary Chaingun shots to ignite foes, but his spread is being decreased when only one gun is active.

Finally, Berserker’s overhealth conversion rate is being buffed from 50% to 60%.
