Overwatch Players Find Major RIP-Tire Bug

3.6

Overwatch players discovering bugs and glitches in the popular online first person shooter isn’t really a rare occurance, and yet again, we’re bringing you a report about just that- another glitch discovered by players of Overwatch. This one has affected the character Junkrat. More specifically, its RIP-Tire ability.

RIP-Tire allows Junkrat to release a remotely controller tire-shaped bomb, but thanks to a glitch recently discovered by a player, it’s facing a major issue. The player put up a video (which you can check out below) on a Reddit thread, showing the bug which causes the RIP-Tire to switch camera angles after the player’s death and messes with the control.

It seems like this only triggers when players respawn while still using the tire. Judging by the number and nature of comments and upvotes on the thread in question, it seems like a lot of people have been facing this same issue. While it definitely isn’t serious enough to be game-breaking by any means, we sure hope Blizzard addresses this soon.

Potion Doesn't really seem like that much of an issue. What are the actual use cases for something like this.

im completely confused on what benefits this glitch even has / had.

There aren't any really are there? It's pretty useless.

In certain circumstances I believe it made them invisible or invincible. Like high ledges in bo3.

It'll be patched soon. Junk rat is always the first to get patched.

I honestly don't think it's that big a deal. He's using advantages that his power gives him. The tire isn't op.

Specialize That's a crazy glitch, will have to put this to use.

I dont really understand what it is used for... But hey glitches will be glitches.. This will be fixed very soon most definitely.
