Event Brawl
Overwatch Halloween Terror: 2016 vs. 2017
The event brawl, Junkenstein’s Revenge, is also back this year, and has been improved upon even further from 2016. In Junkenstein’s Revenge, you fight waves of Zomnic enemies and face off in mini boss battles throughout, including the Reaper, Junkenstien’s Monster (Roadhog), the Witch (Mercy), Dr. Junkenstein himself (Junkrat), and now the Summoner (Symmetra) has joined the army as well. If you didn’t get the chance to play it last year, then it will be an entirely new experience. For those returning, adding Symmetra is also a nice inclusion to add some variety to the boss battles.
On top of that, four others characters are now playable in the new endless mode, in which after you’ve defeated the original waves you can keep battling Dr. Junkenstein and his army for as long as you can before they eventually destroy the doors of Eichenwalde’s castle. Last year you could only play as Solider: 76, Hanzo, Ana, and McCree, and now Widowmaker, Torbjorn, Zenyatta, and Genji are added to the mix as well. Choosing between these eight characters can make for some fun team strategizing, and making the mode endless proves for some fun and very hectic last moments when three Reapers, a Mercy, four Junkrat tires, three Roadhogs, and countless Zomnics all seem to be attacking you at once.
The Halloween Terror event in 2017 also adds the custom game setup in the arcade. Here, you can choose whatever characters you want to play in Junkenstein’s Revenge. So whether it’s Mei, D.Va, Doomfist, or whoever, you can try out multiple combinations to find the best possible team.
