Spice up your Overwatch experience with some unique game modes.
This article is brought to you by StatBanana , the best Overwatch strategy tool.
Sometimes, the most fun you can have in Overwatch is just mucking around in the fun arcade game modes. Rotating mystery heroes, deathmatches and low gravity modes bring out a unique twist to just regular Quick Play. But you can take your creativity to the next level in Overwatch ’s custom game engine.
Custom games allow you to tinker with almost any element of the game—from the heroes you can pick, the stats they can have and even how fast projectiles fly. Great minds over the years of Overwatch have brought us some innovative game modes which are enjoyable to play with friends and randoms alike.
Before you go to check out the arcade section to see what’s hot this week, try out these interesting game modes to boost your Overwatch experience.
Thanks to the internet, we now have the ability to play a classic outdoors game inside—paintball. There are a few minute differences though. One is set in a futuristic universe with amazing landscapes and not much physical exertion required. The other one involves you going outside in the heat and trodding along in the dirt with a bunch of gear on your back. I know which one I prefer.
Ana Paintball takes the elements of paintball and brings them into Overwatch . You get shot? You have to sit out the rest of the round. The last man (or team) standing wins. The game mode can scale from simple one-vs-one action to fully fledged six-vs-six monstrosities. If you want to ramp up the difficulty, you can make it headshot only and style on your mates with perfect aim, or even make it free-for-all instead of team based.
It was recently featured in the Overwatch League Community Countdown where the best supports in the league duked it out on our favourite Egyptian sniper, so if you would like to see the best in the world play one of the most classic custom games check out the VOD .
Game Mode: Elimination Hero Limit: Off Heroes: Ana Biotic Grenade: Off Quick Melee: Off Sleep Dart: Off Nano Boost: Off Damage Dealt: 500% Damage Received: 500% Healing Dealt: 10% Healing Received: 10% Health: 10% Projectile Speed: 500%
Sombra is a nuisance to most teams in the current GOATS meta. Her ability to hack is obnoxious, she can retreat in an instant with translocater and melt down your squishy supports. However, in The Hidden, she must fend for herself in a one-vs-five against some of the deadliest heroes in Overwatch .
With inspiration taken from the Half Life 2 mod of the same name, The Hidden must try and take down The Hunted. The Hunted team is comprised of McCree, Reaper, Soldier: 76, Tracer, and Widowmaker, with the ability to have a maximum of two of each hero. Each hero must resort to their primary fire, melees and movement to negotiate the powerful Sombra, who only has her invisibility and melee attacks to work with.
Two hits from Sombra will take out any of The Hunted, and her ability to lurk around invisible will keep every attacker on edge. If you want to change it up a little bit, feel free to add in a 80 percent damage Mei (with no wall or ice block), or give The Hunted a little bit more utility to put pressure on the Sombra.
Game Mode: Elimination Hero Limit: Two per team Team 1 Max Players: 1 Team 2 Max Players: 5 Heroes Team 1: Sombra Sombra Damage Dealt: 500% Sombra Health: 400% Sombra Movement Speed: 130% Sombra Primary Fire: Off Hack: Off Stealth Cooldown: 50% Translocator Cooldown: 0% EMP: Off Heroes Team 2: McCree, Reaper, Soldier: 76, Tracer, Widowmaker McCree Flashbang: Off McCree Deadeye: Off Reaper Health: 80% Reaper Shadow Step: Off Reaper Death Blossom: Off Soldier: 76 Biotic Field: Off Soldier: 76 Tactical Visor: Off Tracer Blink Cooldown: 130% Tracer Health: 133% Tracer Recall: Off Tracer Pulse Bomb: Off Widowmaker Venom Mine: Off Widowmaker Infra-Sight: Off
The 1980s classic film Ghostbusters got a revamp back in 2016 with a brand-new cast, but now in Overwatch you can undertake your own ghost-busting mission and turn some of your favorite maps into haunted ghost havens all year round.
The Ghostbusters game mode pits a team of Reapers against Zaryas, where the objective for both teams is to complete the map. With extremely fast ultimate charges the Zaryas can work together to “vacuum” the Reapers, however the Reaper’s can easily escape with smart usage of Wraith Form.
Playing this game mode during the Halloween event will allow you to enable the special edition maps for added spookiness, but it works well on all maps and map types. Everyone has a personal preference though—I quite enjoy King’s Row for the aesthetic, while Ilios can provide some innovative Graviton Surge and Shadow Step strategies from both sides, but it’s up to you.
Game Mode: Assault, Escort, Control, Hybrid Hero Limit: Off Heroes Team 1: Reaper Reaper Damage Dealt: 150% Reaper Ultimate Generation: 200% Reaper Movement Speed: 75% Shadow Step Cooldown: 0% Heroes Team 2: Zarya Zarya Ultimate Generation: 500% Zarya Movement Speed: 125% Particle Barrier Cooldown: 80% Projected Barrier Cooldown: 50%
Ever wanted to live out your anime protagonist dreams? Does slaying a giant in an intense fist-fight speak to your soul? Well, the Attack on Titan custom game mode in Overwatch is just for you.
Pitting the Survey Corps (Widowmakers) against the Titans (Roadhogs), teams must work together to eliminate the other to win. In true Attack on Titan fashion, you’ll be able to fly around the map as Widowmaker, trying to dodge all the Roadhog hooks while sneaking in your own melee attacks. One hook from the Roadhog will eliminate each Widowmaker, while five melee attacks from Widowmaker will take down the Titans.
Given the strength of Roadhog in this game mode, stacking the teams three-vs-six in favor of Widowmaker will provide the most balanced experience. But why not take it to the next level by chucking on Guren no Yumiya in the background, belting it out so your neighbors can hear it, and brawling to the death? You may as well take it the whole way.
Game Mode: Elimination Hero Limit: Off Team 2 Max Players: 3 Heroes Team 1: Widowmaker Widowmaker Damage Received: 500% Widowmaker Health: 10% Widowmaker Movement Speed: 200% Widowmaker Primary Fire: Off Grappling Hook Cooldown: 0% Infra-Sight: Off Venom Mine: Off Heroes Team 2: Roadhog Roadhog Health: 25% Roadhog Primary Fire: Off Roadhog Secondary Fire: Off Roadhog Quick Melee: Off Chain Hook Cooldown: 75% Take A Breather: Off Whole Hog: Off

Overwatch's long and painful matchmaking times are no longer an issue thanks to the addition of the Workshop and a multitude of custom games.
For the longest time since its release in 2016, waiting times for Overwatch lobbies were long and painful. Players gaming with their friends could expect to wait up to 10 minutes while the game finds a match. However, if a player wanted to play solo, depending on which hero they're playing, their wait times could multiply – taking anywhere between 15 and 30 minutes.
In April 2019, Blizzard announced a game mode for Overwatch that helped ease the pain of long matchmaking times – the Overwatch Workshop. The community could create new ways to enjoy the game and, at the same time, actively kill off boredom while sitting through a matchmaking lobby. This feature is hugely beneficial, and fans have been able to play some standout custom games over the years.
Using a simplified game system, players can create their own custom game modes with the Overwatch Workshop . They could then enjoy these custom Workshop creations as they sit in a lobby, whether solo or in a group, waiting for their next match. To enter the Workshop, gamers simply need to enter the Game Browser once the game is loaded up.
Creating a custom game on Overwatch requires a small level of coding knowledge for players to develop their own custom games. The Overwatch Workshop primarily uses a slew of if/then statements, which will be the foundation of the player's gameplay choice. Nevertheless, those who aren't proficient in programming can enjoy a large number of game modes that members of the Overwatch community have already created.
The Overwatch Workshop has amassed thousands of custom game modes made by the Overwatch community since its launch back in 2019, such that it became challenging to search for new custom games to enjoy. However, websites like Workshop.codes share a curated list of custom games that players everywhere can enjoy – organized by popularity, creation date, heroes, and maps. Players can choose custom games to work on their skills with the many hero-specific "training modes" available, or they can try one of the most popular game modes.
Created by Workshop.codes user QTPi, Overwatch Fight Club (Workshop code: BWJ7Z) allows players to play some of their favorite characters in a Street Fighter meets Marvel vs. Capcom meets Super Smash Bros. 2.5D fighting game. The custom game pits player against player in a 1v1, semi-free-for-all featuring maps that players can fall off of like in Smash . Currently, players can play Doomfist, Genji, and Brigitte, who can summon "help" from the likes of Moira and Reaper in the same way as a Marvel vs. Capcom game.
While, unfortunately, no one has been able to properly create an Overwatch -style Mario Kart with Workshop, creator RookiePlayerSMG made something almost equally as chaotic. Reinkart+ (Workshop code: 34791) features a map full of Reinhardts with one sole mission – defeat the other Reinhardt by intelligently charging , firestriking, or crushing them with his ult Earthshatter. An update from the original Reinkart , a player wins this custom game by being the first to reach 25 kills within 10 minutes of utter Reinhardt chaos.
For those who wondered what a Left4Dead or Back4Blood game would look like in an Overwatch setting, Zombie Survival Mission by Mazattack (Workshop code: MPJFR) is the answer. There are two objectives in this custom game: complete the missions given and survive the onslaught of a zombie horde. Players can choose their favorite characters to play solo or with a team of friends against an ever-increasing horde of Overwatch characters , each with their own special and sometimes terrifying abilities.
Overwatch is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
