Summary
A bug discovered byOverwatch 2players following the release of the game’s latest season causes Lucio’s “Dance Party” emote to break in the best possible way, with the emote now forcing the Brazilian hero to assume the default A-pose instead. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Lucio mains who have this notably rareOverwatch 2emote unlocked are making the most of the bug to add to the usual pre-game shenanigans.
It’s almost certain that everynew season ofOverwatch 2will inadvertently introduce a few new bugswhich break various parts of the game. Such issues have had some frustrating impacts on plenty of different gameplay mechanics and heroes in the past, but every so often, fans ofOverwatch 2come across a bug that’s just outright comical to the extent they hope it never gets fixed at all. Emote-related glitches certainly aren’t a new thing inOverwatch 2, but being able to run around a map and A-pose on other players is never a bad thing.
Players have come across a variety of different issues following therecent launch ofOverwatch 2’s eleventh season, but a popular clip shared online by the player known as PutoJooj puts the spotlight on Lucio’s broken emote. While it’s totally unclear why this happens or what caused this specific emote to suddenly break, Lucio’s rarely-seen Dance Party emote now just simply fails to play its animation, with Lucio’s model instead just A-posing when players try to use the emote. The clip demonstrating the bug in action shows how it can be used to spark some laughs in-game, with the fan taking a Mei player by surprise during some pre-match Skirmish.
This Bugged Lucio Emote in Overwatch is a Particularly Rare One
Replicating the bug really is as simple as the push of a button, though the defective emote in question is a particularly rare one. In fact, with the emote originally being available as anexclusive item back in the firstOverwatchand scarcely becoming available since then, it’s generally considered to be one of the rarest emotes in the game. Still, as enjoyable as it is to watch Lucio players skating around and A-posing during matches, it’s likely just a short matter of time before the bug gets patched.
Blizzard have often shown a pretty good track record of fixing the bugs that tend to crop up with the release of each new season, meaning that players facing some of the new issues seen since Season 11 - such as the widespread performance issues affecting PlayStation 5 users - likely won’t have to wait long for a patch. Overall,Season 11 ofOverwatch 2looks to be quite dense with changesand new content, including tweaks to various tank heroes, another rework of Cassidy’s infamous magnetic grenade, some substantial adjustments to certain maps, and much more.
