Overwatch 2 Haunted Masquerade event
From Oct. 14 to Nov. 4, Overwatch 2 players can duke it out in the Haunted Masquerade game mode. This six-versus-six (6v6) mode lets players wear hero masks for special abilities, and some hero and mask combinations grant bonus synergies. For example, a Moira player with a Reaper mask results in Moira gaining the ability to attach Biotic Orb to Reaper. Meanwhile, Reaper with a Moira mask gets increased jump height and movement speed while he's in Wraith Form.
