Overwatch Code Redemption

This page contains a list of cheats, codes, Easter eggs, tips, and other secrets for Overwatch for PC. If you've discovered a cheat you'd like to add to the page, or have a correction, please click EDIT and add it.

When the enemy team's base on the Hanamura map is in the easily defended shrine area, some characters you might choose can head outside the base and make a leap from one ledge to a balcony (after shooting away the railing) to gain surprise access to an area of the base from which it is easier to launch an attack. However, characters with a shorter jump typically can't cross the gap. The good news is that there's a higher path that makes the leap possible for most characters (perhaps with assistance from a wall run), provided you're willing to risk potential death if you don't execute it properly. The video demonstrates the process.

When playing in the Temple of Anubis, check out the vehicle in which you spawn. On the inside, you'll find the skull of a Hydralisk (from Starcraft), and on the outside, you'll find a spray-painted Murloc from Warcraft. On a separate map, you'll find promotional posters hyping various movies based on characters in the game. If you check the company behind the titles, you'll see that it is Goldshire Productions. As you might recall, Goldshire is a town in World of Warcraft.

Go into an emote for third person to peek around corners without getting shot.

If a Bastion is on your team, you can hide behind their turret shield. It can be a good place for Torbjorn's turret, or crouching snipers.

While playing as 76, aim rockets at feet for splash damage instead of missing.

While playing as D.Va, shoot your ultimate into the air over an objective or enemies instead of straight into an objective or enemies so they cannot dodge it as easily. Make sure it rains down and explodes mid-air.

While play as Lucio, you can wall ride to reach high points in the map, making enemies look up at you while your team kills them.

Use the following tips to more effectively engage enemies on offense and give your team an advantage:

• Always try attacking enemies as a team and not alone. Especially avoid 1v2 and 1v3 engagements against the enemy.
• If multiple players are killed on your team and you are still alive, retreat and regroup with your team before attacking again.
• If you are at an enemy choke point, try focusing on killing just one or two enemies and then immediately attack so you have a 6v5 or 6v4 advantage. Do not hesitate on attacking and pushing forward when you have the one or two player advantage.
• If you are having trouble getting past a certain point while on offense, try waiting until one or two of the players on the team have a strong ultimate available that can help your team push past the point.

Use the following tips to more effectively engage enemies on defense and give your team an advantage:

• Do not attack the enemy right outside their spawn. If you die, they will be back in the fight much quicker than you due to you having to spawn further away. This is especially important at the beginning of a match.
• Engage the enemy at a choke point where you have the advantage. It is best to also have the height advantage while defending a point. For example, while on defense on the Route 66 map, do not defend the payload near the enemy spawn. Setup and initially defend around the corner on top of and around Big Earl's Gas. The enemy will then be further from their spawn and you will be closer to your spawn and have a better overall advantage compared to defending near their spawn.
