Overwatch 2 Season 13 is now live with a brand-new Halloween Terror event! Read on for our guide on how Junkenstein's Laboratory works and how to claim victory. We also go over the Overwatch 2 Halloween Terror challenges and rewards.
Overwatch 2 Junkenstein's Laboratory explained
Halloween Terror in 2024 features the new Junkenstein's Laboratory player-versus-player (PvP) game mode. Upon entering a match, you must choose and equip your hero's first mutation. We chose D.Va, so our first set of options include Mischievous Missiles, Monstrous Matric, Fast Fury, and Missile Swarm.
You can check out what your teammates and enemies chose for their mutations as well. Read through them to coordinate better and counter your foes.

For example, the enemy team's Moira chose the Greater Gales card to make use of her Biotic Orbs. D.Va can eat these thanks to Defense Matrix.
Meanwhile, the previous rounds indicated that the enemy Reinhardt likes shielding and Fire Strike. Additionally, Soldier: 76 and the Reaper use projectiles. Therefore, we made the most out of Defense Matrix. We also discarded mutations that weren't working out.
In our playthrough on Ilios, we had to claim three rounds for the win.
