The Uprising event offers the game’s second co-op mode, allowing four players to battle waves of Null Sector robots while capturing and defending objectives. Players could pick Mercy, Torbjörn, Reinhardt, and Tracer in the featured mode because there was a little bit of exposition in their conversations, but there was an “All Heroes” option for those that want to stomp robots with any character.
The only new map in the update was a modified version of King’s Row exclusive to the Uprising mode. The physical layout was mostly unchanged, but there were obstacles and debris littered everywhere. The new mode was fun to play a few times because it was varied with defending points, moving a payload, and defeating four boss-like characters at the end. It also forced players to try out some of the lesser picked characters.
