Some quirky areas in Overwatch 2 maps can be exploited, and one example involves a D.Va player getting hilariously trapped behind a tree on the Esperanca Push map. This incident required some creative help from an unexpected source to solve, bringing humor and showcasing the unpredictable nature of the game.
Within the vibrant world of Overwatch 2, where strategic plays and unexpected glitches coexist, players have stumbled upon many interesting quirks. One notable discovery was made by a D.Va player navigating the Push map, Esperanca. Originally launched in 2022 alongside a new game mode, the map isn’t exactly fresh territory anymore. However, as this clip illustrates, there are still uncharted areas and unforeseen challenges waiting to be found, even years after release.
Despite some criticism from the community regarding the game’s monetization strategies, Overwatch 2 has consistently rolled out substantial new content. Compared to its predecessor, it has introduced a quicker cadence of heroes, maps, and cosmetics. In 2024, players were treated to several new maps, like those designed for the innovative Clash mode.
Even though the latest season, Season 15, is teeming with exciting additions, 2025 hasn’t seen any new maps yet. Among the entertaining highlights from players this year is a clip by user French_Taylor, featuring an amusing moment of being trapped. In the clip, a D.Va, stuck in her youth form, calls down her mech near a tree located past one of the central bridges, only to discover her character is too large to maneuver out from behind it.
The highlight of the clip is a humorous scene where both an enemy Reinhardt and Lifeweaver lend a hand. Reinhardt attempts to dismantle the mech, and Lifeweaver strategically uses the Petal Platform to elevate D.Va out of the predicament. While this specific glitch likely dates back to the map’s debut, it remains a rare issue because the conditions for getting stuck are quite specific. Other tanks or heroes with large hitboxes might also find themselves in similar predicaments if skillfully tricked, perhaps via Lifeweaver’s Life Grip or Roadhog’s ultimate ability.
Overwatch 2 has a history of players finding themselves lodged in various map nooks, prompting Blizzard to sometimes tweak the maps. This scenario primarily serves as a humorous reminder for diligent awareness of one’s environment in-game, ensuring D.Va players remember to maintain spatial awareness when calling down their mech.
The wider gaming community may have seen Blizzard introduce minor updates to address such issues in Overwatch 2 maps. Yet, moments like these linger as cherished tales of caution and camaraderie among players, inviting all to approach their adventures with both strategic insight and a bit of humor.
