Brigitte’s shield bug has become a major concern in Overwatch 2, hindering her ability to protect her team. Despite her low pick rate, Brigitte is a crucial hero for countering enemy dives. However, her shield is failing to function properly, leaving her vulnerable to attacks. This bug was highlighted by a viral clip showing Brigitte’s shield failing to defend against a D.Va ultimate, which should not have happened.
Blizzard’s executive producer, Jared Neuss, addressed the issue on social media after being tagged in a thread. He assured players that the development team is aware of the bug and actively working on a fix. Although no further details were provided, Neuss acknowledged the urgency of the situation.
Unfortunately, the bug extends beyond D.Va’s ultimate. Testing revealed that Roadhog’s Chain Hook can also pull Brigitte through her shield, further compromising her defense. This means that Brigitte players will have difficulty countering dives until the bug is resolved.
In the meantime, players may need to consider alternative support heroes to fulfill the frontline healer-shielder role. It is crucial for Blizzard to address this bug promptly to ensure a balanced and enjoyable gameplay experience for all Overwatch 2 players.
