Disastrous Re-Mech Attempt for D.Va in Overwatch 2

Some players have discovered quirks in Overwatch 2 maps that can be used to their advantage, such as a scenario where a D.Va player got hilariously stuck behind a tree on the Esperança Push map. In a comical turn of events, this D.Va needed assistance from an enemy Reinhardt and a Lifeweaver to break free from the snag.

Overwatch 2 might have launched back in 2022, introducing many players to the Esperança Push map, but surprising moments like these show that even years later, there are still nuances to discover. Despite the backlash Overwatch 2 has faced over its monetization strategy, it’s undeniable that the sequel has outpaced the original in terms of delivering fresh content regularly. The game has seen a slew of new additions, from cosmetic upgrades to new maps and heroes. In 2024, Overwatch 2 expanded its universe with new maps crafted for the standalone Clash mode.

While the latest Season 15 offers substantial new features, 2025 hasn’t seen any new map releases so far. Nevertheless, a captivating clip emerged where a player named French_Taylor humorously found themselves caught as a baby D.Va behind a tree on Esperança. Positioned near the map’s central bridge, the player called their mech and soon realized there was no way out as D.Va’s mech suit was too bulky.

In a rather entertaining rescue attempt, an enemy Reinhardt tried breaking the D.Va free by destroying their mech, only for a Lifeweaver to come to the rescue with a Petal Platform, ultimately allowing D.Va to escape. Although this bug might have lingered since the map’s inception, incidents like these are rare given the specific conditions required. However, other sizable Overwatch 2 heroes could potentially find themselves in the same predicament if pushed or pulled by abilities like Lifeweaver’s Life Grip or Roadhog’s ultimate.

Past experiences show that players have managed to get stuck on different maps, and Blizzard occasionally steps in with small patches to address these glitches. This quirky clip is a fun reminder for all D.Va players to keep an eye on their surroundings when gearing up. Overall, the ever-evolving gameplay ensures veteran players still find elements to explore in Overwatch 2, keeping the excitement alive in unexpected ways.
