Overwatch 2 developer Blizzard is about to release a big new update, which makes multiple changes to Tank character Roadhog. The new Overwatch 2 update makes Roadhog more appealing to players, following a decline in popularity in recent years and updates. As you can see from the patch notes further down the page, the headline new feature is the addition of a brand new ability for Roadhog.
According to the patch notes and gameplay video, Roadhog’s brand new ability is called Pig Pen.
The Pig Pen ability sees Roadhog launch a trap that both damages enemies for 60, and slows them down by 40%.
Roadhog’s Scrap Gun, meanwhile, will fire four big projectiles surrounded by shrapnel pellets that do increased damage.
Finally, Roadhog’s Take a Breather ability is now resource based, taking 12 seconds to fully fill.
The Take a Breather ability will heal 450 HP when fully charged, while damage reduction is reduced from 50% to 30%.
