Several Overwatch bugs have made the rounds in recent weeks, with the issues ranging from minor to major. However, while a new Overwatch glitch impacting Ana is somewhere in the middle, it will surely put a smile on the face of those that encounter it.
Overwatch’s first post-launch hero, Ana Amari is popular for her interesting backstory and high-skill playstyle. Losing her eye to Widowmaker, Pharah’s mother took some time away from Overwatch, becoming the vigilante Shrike. Since returning to active service and becoming a playable hero back in August of 2016, however, Ana has seen been seen at the top and bottom of pick charts due to balancing and meta changes. Despite so much time passing, though, Ana has remained relatively bug-free — until now, that is.
A new Overwatch bug was spotlighted by Redditor joshuamax, with the minute-long clip quickly growing in popularity as it was viewed by the game’s subreddit. After only a few seconds of watching, it is easy to understand why it became popular, as the glitch depicts Ana suddenly screaming mid-match. Hilarious due to both the length of the scream and the sheer amount of noise that the 60-year-old character puts into the yell, it is hard to tell if Ana is in pain or trying to strike fear into her enemies.
Joshuamax’s clip shows that they truly do seem to hear Ana screaming every two minutes like the title suggests, as several different parts of a Hollywood match show that the Support hero refuses to stop shouting. While this bug surely got a laugh out of the player and his teammates on its first appearance, it becomes slightly less funny when the clip shows that Ana is still yelling on some of the game’s other maps. On both Busan and Nepal, Ana is heard shouting randomly every two minutes, with the bug likely tied to the player’s game specifically.
While the issue likely became frustrating for joshuamax after a few matches, the Overwatch player’s fellow Redditors could not get enough of the bug. While some joked that this is how players trapped in low competitive tiers feel on the inside, and others wanted to see it become tied to one of Ana’s abilities in Overwatch, it is TheQueq’s comment that stole the show. Joking that this bug is “the first of many lore-based mental health balance updates,” the fan suggests outlandish changes like Reinhardt beginning to exhibit Dementia — ensuring that Ana is not alone in her odd screaming outbursts.
While this bug is surely comedic to the player’s team, their opponents could be terrified by hearing one of their foes randomly screaming at them. As such, if any Ana mains fall victim to this bug, throwing on her creepy Lunar New Year skin “Tal” could help to make the other team even more scared.
Overwatch is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
