Overwatch 2 players can enjoy the Showdown Shuffle mode as part of Season 20 events, and Blizzard has shared what we can expect.
The limited-time mode will go live a week after the mid-season patch, which was released on Jan. 9. This mode, as you might have expected, will be different from the traditional Overwatch 2 experience. At its core will be various modifiers that will be applied at random.
Overwatch 2 Showdown Shuffle event duration
Showdown Shuffle will be going live across all platforms on Tuesday, Jan. 13. Once the mode goes live, you’ll find it in the Arcade playlist. The event will be available for two weeks. Unless Blizzard changes their plans, Showdown Shuffle will be available until Monday, Jan. 26.
All Overwatch 2 Showdown Shuffle modifiers
There are 12 modifiers that will be part of the Showdown Shuffle mode. The modifiers will activate randomly during a match.
| Mini Maxing | All heroes are 50% smaller. Health reduced by 30% |
| Lie Low | Heroes become invisible while crouching. However, their invisibility can still be detected at a short distance. The hero stops being invisible when they receive damage or attacks. |
| Power Punch | Quick melee attacks knock back enemies. |
| Vampiric Healing | Heroes don’t passively regenerate HP, but each hero has the vampiric passive. |
| Aerial Combat | Heroes deal and receive 50% more damage while in the air. Gravity decreased. |
| Back in Action | Respawn time decreased. Does not apply during Overtime. |
| Damage Pack | Health packs also increase damage dealt by 250% for 10-20 seconds or until death. |
| Berserkers | Heroes don’t passively regenerate HP. For each 10% of total HP lost, increases attack speed by 6% and reduces cooldowns by 6%. |
| Super Jump | Heroes jump 200% higher. |
| Explosive | Heroes explode on death, dealing damage to all nearby heroes. |
| Hyper Speed | Movement speed is increased by 30% for all heroes. |
| Buff Hunt | Every minute, one random hero has increased HP, deals more damage, and generates ult charge faster. Eliminate the buffed hero to gain the buff. |
There will be exclusive challenges that you can complete to win cosmetics, lootboxes, and Battle Pass XP.
