As an avid Overwatch 2 fan with years of gaming experience under my belt, I can’t help but shake my head at yet another baffling bug that has reared its ugly head. This time, it seems our dear friend Zarya found herself in a rather peculiar predicament – spawning on an entirely different map during a competitive game!


In a competitive match of Overwatch 2, a glitch caused one player to appear on an entirely distinct map apart from their teammates.

Ever since I started playing Overwatch, I’ve run into my fair share of puzzling in-game glitches. Some of these glitches have led to downright laugh-out-loud moments, but others have the potential to completely ruin a game.

During a fierce competition, one player found themselves on the unlucky end when they stumbled upon an unusual situation. As reported by their teammate in a Reddit post, this player, who happened to be controlling Zarya at the moment, mysteriously appeared at an entirely distinct respawn point in the Busan map.

In the Downtown area, their teammates were gathered together; however, solo character Zarya was spotted far away at Sanctuary, which is a distinct section of the Busan map. The person who shared the video remarked, “My tank randomly spawned on a different competitive map.

Indeed, having just four team members certainly placed them at a potential disadvantage. Yet, it didn’t deter others from jokingly teasing about this predicament.

“‘Bro where is our tank you’re throwing’” meanwhile the tank,” commented one user.

“Now THIS is a tank gap,” a different user added.

In response to “Zarya is so confused,” someone playfully asked, “What made the entire team disconnect?

Some players have mentioned that this issue has persisted since the early days of Overwatch and they too have encountered it at some stage.

Thankfully, things turned out alright in the end. It was reported that the user who posted the clip proposed a solution for the tank to self-destruct so they could reappear at the right spot. The positive outcome is that this approach proved effective, allowing them to eventually rejoin their team during the game.

Apart from this issue, there have been other bugs in the past that could be game-breaking. For instance, there was a bug that made it nearly impossible to win in Venture, and another one where players found themselves fighting against their own team during a game.
