An Overwatch 2 player has discovered a bug that allows Zenyatta to see Sombra while she is invisible. Overwatch 2 is a game known for its intense matches where each player takes on a role to lead their team to victory. Another aspect that has made Overwatch 2 equally well-known is the frequency with which players find bugs in the game.

Overwatch 2 players are no strangers to seeing the game haunted by bugs that affect gameplay. One of the most talked about cases happened a few days after Overwatch 2 came out when Bastion and Torbjorn were removed temporarily because of an issue with their ultimates. Another hero who got a lot of reaction from fans was Mei, who left Overwatch 2 for a while after a bug was found in her Ice Wall. And this time an Overwatch 2 player has found yet another bug in the game, giving one of the veteran heroes a chance to stand against his biggest threat.

Zenyatta player spots Sombra while she's invisible

Reddit user Twisted_tadpole discovered a bug that allows Zenyatta to see Sombra while she's invisible. In the video shared by the player they show that after the Orb of Discord detaches, the cooldown icon appears on Sombra even though the hacker is not visible. In addition, a red outline appears around Sombra, seriously inhibiting the damage heroine's stealth ability. Zenyatta is an Overwatch 2 hero whose playstyle revolves around his orbs, which he uses to cause damage to enemies and heal his allies. The Orb of Discord, once placed on an enemy, can only be used again after seven seconds. To keep track of how much time has passed, Overwatch 2 displays a counter at the bottom of the opponent's model.

One of Overwatch 2's support heroes, Zenyatta gives tank heroes a hard time. Despite this, the omnic monk suffers from having the lowest base health pool in Overwatch 2. To neutralize Zenyatta's effectiveness, players can employ several counters, with Sombra being the most effective. The hacker stands out thanks to her invisibility, which makes Sombra break through enemy lines to silence Zenyatta and kill the support.

The bug discovered by Twisted_tadpole is a threat to Sombra players, as it minimizes the impact of what makes the heroine who she is. On the other hand, considering the chaotic nature of the fights in Overwatch 2, it still won't be that simple for Zenyatta to stay alive, although players will certainly appreciate the help. At the moment Blizzard has not commented on the case, or what its decision will be with yet another bug found in an Overwatch 2 hero.
