An Overwatch 2 player has found an interesting bug relating to Orisa’s ultimate, which makes the powerful ability seemingly last forever. The bug also leaves the player unable to move.
Overwatch 2 launched back in October 2022, reworking many of the existing heroes and introducing 3 new heroes, with more on the way. Orisa was one hero that was heavily reworked, giving her a number of different abilities, a new primary weapon, and the Javelin Spear. The Javelin Spear is used in Orisa’s new ultimate, Terra Surge, which sweeps up enemies and slams into the ground. The reworks given to Orisa make her a formidable opponent to fight against, but also a very useful ally.
In a post uploaded to Reddit, the user known as YANKEESCDJ shows a clip of when they activated Orisa’s ultimate. The hero is humorously stuck in the spinning animation of Terra Surge, with YANKEESCDJ pleading with other players in the chat to help while they stand and watch. Luckily, another player eventually eliminates YANKEESCDJ to put an end to Orisa’s powerful Terra Surge ultimate. Members of the Overwatch subreddit commented on the hilarity of the situation, discussing if Orisa would ever stop spinning had someone not put at end to it.
It’s not currently clear as to how widespread the bug is, however, players responding the Reddit post suggest that it may be down to the fact Orisa’s ultimate cannot be activated in the air. Due to the fact that YANKEESCDJ’s hero is stuck in the bikes, this may explain why the ultimate never ends. Nevertheless, it may be something Blizzard investigates to stop the issue from happening.
Issues aside, Overwatch 2 is mostly well-reviewed, with plenty of praise surrounding its wide roster of heroes all with their own unique abilities. Overwatch 2 is also free-to-play, allowing anyone to access with game and enjoy it without any investment. The game is also regularly updated, and with a new PvE campaign coming eventually, there is plenty for players to jump into and lots for fans to look forward to.

Players of the widely popular team-based action shooter, Overwatch 2, were met with an unexpected surprise this past weekend. During a match, an unforeseen bug caused the virtual hero, Orisa’s ultimate ability, Supercharger, to remain active indefinitely.
Supercharger is Orisa’s ultimate that provides a damage boost to all teammates within her line of sight. It typically exists for 10 seconds, with the duration dwindling as it receives damage. During this match, however, the Supercharger’s timer stopped decreasing and continued to provide the damage boost indefinitely. As word quickly spread of the glitched Orisa ult, players in other servers began trying to replicate it, with little to no success.
Blizzard Entertainment, the developers of Overwatch 2, have yet to respond to the situation. Players of the game have called for Blizzard to investigate the glitch and remedy it so that the game remains in a balanced state. Although Supercharger is considered to be a powerful ability, the infinite buff it provides is an overpowered state that should not be accessible within the game.
This unanticipated glitch may present opportunities for future events and game modes, however. If Blizzard is able to identify the cause of the bug and potentially replicate the effect, they can construct custom competitive events or game modes that capitalize on this particular effect.
In any case, Overwatch 2 players will be hoping for a speedy response from Blizzard Entertainment to address this issue as soon as possible.
